The pointing-out instruction (Tibetan: ངོ་སྤྲོད་, Wylie: ngo sprod, THL: ngo trö) is an introduction to the nature of mind in the Tibetan Buddhist lineages of Mahāmudrā and Dzogchen. In these traditions, a lama gives the pointing-out instruction in such a way that the disciple successfully recognizes the nature of mind.
