Eleven vajra topics

In Dzogchen, the eleven vajra topics explain the view of the secret instruction series (man ngag sde).

These can be found in the String of Pearls Tantra (Mu tig phreng ba), the Great Commentary by Vimalamitra as well as in Longchenpa's Treasury of Word and Meaning (Tsik Dön Dzö).

The String of Pearls Tantra briefly lists them as follows: Although reality is inconceivable, pristine consciousness has three aspects.

Though there are many bases of delusion, it is natural perfection (lhun grub) and compassion (thugs rjes).

Abiding within oneself are the kāyas, families, and pristine consciousnesses.
