New Series/Book> Kongtrul's Treasury of Precious Instructions
by Nikko Odiseos
Dear Friends,We are pleased to announce the first release of a significant new publication effort: Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Taye’s Treasury of Precious Instructions (gDams ngag rin po che’i mdzod).
For the Tibetologists on this list, this needs little introduction, but in brief, this is an 18 volume work on the eight lineages of accomplishment, one model for the classifications of practice traditions in Tibet.
This collection was compiled in a roughly chronological order:
- Nyingma - Two Volumes (876 pages)
- Kadampa Tradition - Two Volumes (1190 pages)
- Sakya Path & Result - Two Volumes (930 pages)
- Marpa Kagyu - Four Volumes (1567 pages)
- Shangpa Kagyu - Two Volumes (1304 pages)
- Pacification & Severance - Two Volumes (900 pages)
- Kalacakra & Orgyen Nyendrup - One Volume (626 pages)
- Miscellaneous Teachings - Two Volumes (1088 pages)
- Jonang Tradition & Catalog - One Volume (630 pages)
We are publishing the volumes asynchronously and releases will spread out over the next few years.
The first volume has just arrived from the printer which is Volume 14, Chöd: The Sacred Teachings on Severance. Introduced and translated by Sarah Harding (Naropa University), this contains 29 selections which include source scriptures and commentaries, instuctions, guides and more from a variety of authors including Machik Lapdrön, Aryadeva (the Brahmin, not the Nagarjuna disciple), Rangjung Dorje, Tāranātha, Karma Chakme, Kongtrul himself, and many more.
We are grateful to the Tsadra Foundation whose generous support of the translators and publication make this possible.
The link below will take you to to the entry for this volume in our recent newsletter cataloging the 35 books we released (or soon will) in 2016 that relate to Tibetan Buddhism. We will have this, and all books in the link below at AAR in San Antonio next month so please come by and have a look. Also, desk and exam copies can be requested from Penguin Random House, our global distributor at RHAcademic@penguinrandomhouse.com.
