There are a few pith instructions I often come back to. Two of them are termas discovered by Nyangral Nyima Özer.
1. The Pointing Out of the Staff

2. The Pointing Out of the Old Lady

Evidently, this is a part of a (unbeknownst to me) a further sub-division of instructions, in this case the Yoga of the Crown or the Crown Pith described by David Germano as an " as an uncompromising non-duality zeroed in on original purity."

I also came across this great article by Jean Luc Achard further describing it and defending it in a very pragmatic article:

Just thought I would post it here and see if there are any other English language resources on this terton and tradition.

Re: Yoga of the Crown Dzogchen
Nyangral has always interested me. Him and Guru Chowang seemed to have the most direct and straightforward approaches to Dzogchen. Apparently the Yangti class also came from him?

This just isn’t true, and is a fiction spun by western scholars.Passing By wrote: ↑Sun Dec 04, 2022 4:10 am Him and Guru Chowang seemed to have the most direct and straightforward approaches to Dzogchen.
