1 LIST OF CONTENTS OF EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE #1 0!8-8>o:-&{-+#{-.:-/v+- CANON Number of volumes Bka' 'gyur (Sde dge Par phud) 103 The Derge Parpu redaction of the Kangyur was edited with great care by Situ Panchen Chokyi Jungne (1699/ ) and was carved through the efforts of Tenpa Tsering ( ) the ruler of Derge. The parpu or "first fruit" printings were sent to the great spiritual masters of the time shortly after the carving was complete. One of them reached the 13th Karmapa Dudul Dorje (1733/ /1798). It was this copy that was eventually reproduced in India at the order of H.H. the 16th Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje ( ). Later protectors of the Derge Gonchen printery added texts including new translations by Situ, which he, out of his natural humility, had omitted to include in his own edition of the canon. These additional texts are found in later printings from the Derge blocks. W LCCN for inkprint original: %,-8>o:-&{-+#{8m-.:-1- Bstan 'gyur (Sde dge) 213 The Derge edition of the Tengyur, edited by Zhuchen Tsultrim Rinchen ( ), was a masterpiece of scholarship. The Tengyur is a collection of basic texts translated from Indic originals and ranging over the entire range of learning. Their chief characteristic is that all of them have been written by Indian authors. The catalog to this edition is highly regarded as a historical source for Tibet and the Derge principality. The edition which has been scanned here was prepared as a part of the funeral rites for H.H. the 16th Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje ( ) who passed away in Chicago. The set reproduced here is missing the Jo bo chos chung brgya rtsa which seems to have been added later. W , LCCNs for inkprint originals: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

These texts were first compiled into a collection by the great terton Ratna Lingpa ( ). Subsequent scholars added texts regarded as canonical. The Tsamdrag manuscript represents the tradition Lhalung and seems to have been copied at the order of Tsamdrag Lama Ngagwang Drugpa ( ) on the basis of a manuscript from Gangteng. This manuscript was reprinted by the National Library of Bhutan under the direction of H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche ( ) and Lopon Pemala. This manuscript was subsequently reprinted in Chengdu and has thus spread throughout China. W LCCN for inkprint original: Jm$-1-0!8-1-W=-.- NYINGMA TRADITION Rnying ma bka' ma rgyas pa 58 The collection of Kama or commentatorial literature descending in a direct tradition from the teachers at the time of the introduction to Tibet of the Nyingma tradition in the 7th century was that of the brothers of Mindroling, Terdag Lingpa ( ) and Minling Lochen Dharmashri ( ). The actual compilation work was made by Dzogchen Gyalse Zhenpen Taye (b. 1800). Subsequent masters of Kathog and Dzogchen produced other collections of Kama collections. H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje ( ) gathered together all of the shastras that were known to exist among the Tibetan Diaspora first in 13 volumes and finally in this magnificent 58 volume collection.

In these 18 volumes are found everything from the most advanced methods of psychological transformation to the works describing types of hats and hygiene. The terton of this extraordinary cycle was Sangye Lingpa ( ), who found these treasure texts at Puri Pugmoche in He transmitted these teachings to the 5th Karmapa Deshin Shegpa ( ), who presented a manuscript of the Lama Gongdu to the Ming Emperor. This ruler rewarded both the Karmapa and the revealer of the texts.

While sympathetic to the non-sectarian movement, he revitalized the Nyingma wisdom tradition. Because of his great influence, no blockprint edition of his works was ever gathered together in Tibet. The majority of his writings were arranged in two series and printed in Derge. Important works were carved on to blocks at Kathog, Dzongsar, Lakar, Dzogchen, etc. Khyentse Rinpoche had brought together a set of all of the blockprints and published them in Bhutan.
