Hi there,

I'm not sure of any right off hand but I sure would love to see a transcript of Khandro Rinpoche teaching on it.
"All phenomena of samsara depend on the mind, so when the essence of mind is purified, samsara is purified. Since the phenomena of nirvana depend on the pristine consciousness of vidyā, because one remains in the immediacy of vidyā, buddhahood arises on its own. All critical points are summarized with those two." - Longchenpa

This book is excellent on Satipatthana. Written by Theravadin monk Ven. Analayo.
