The most concise is the Precious Treasury of Meaningful Words (also available here at Buddha Visions as included in the Secret Treasury of the Dakinis). The most elaborate commentary is the vast and extensive Cloud Oceans of the Profound Meaning of the Pith Instructions of the Heart Bindu of the Dakinis (forthcoming).
This Precious Golden Garland of Instructions is Longchenpa’s medium length mind treasure on such material. All three commentaries are unique. The Precious Golden Garland of Instructions is quite special in that it contains almost exclusive original prose by Longchenpa himself.
