The Complete Texts of the Root Volumes of Longchen Nyingthig
by Jigmey Lingpa, Dodrupchen, and Others
250 texts in a total of 5 Tibetan volumes
This is a complete set of the root texts of Longchen Nyingthig according to the arrangement of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. The original texts of the LongchenNyingthig transmission written by Jigmey Lingpa were compiled into a total of three volumes. In the late twentieth century, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche compiled important texts written by other great masters such as the various Dodrupchens. These additional texts came out to a total of two volumes thus making a total of five volumes in Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche's compilation. We have input all five volumes.
Our new electronic edition has the advantages that it can be searched easily and can also be used as a basis for printing one's own edition. To prepare the edition, we used the five volume edition made at Zhechen Monastery at Dilgo Khyentse's command in the late twentieth century. Our electronic edition was input and meticulously edited during a full year of work in our office. It is an exceptionally good edition which is important to know because it is very hard to come across a good quality edition of the Longchen Nyingthig volumes these days.
We would also like to draw your attention to the other major works of Longchen Rabjam which we have prepared to a similar, very high level of quality. These texts are available on our free Tibetan texts page. This collection here plus Longchen Rabjam's works make a it possible to obtain much of the written transmission that came from Longchenpa. This is our offering to Longchen Rabjam and his tradition and we hope that it will be of considerable assistance to all those who need his works.
The electronic edition comes with our TibetD Reader software. One of the unique features of the software is that it allows the entire collection of texts to be searched simultaneously for words and phrases, allowing a very high level of research into the content that has not previously been available.
Each volume has its own index file and we have also created a single index file for all volumes.
We have translated three of the texts that are important for practice and, with much support material, published them as books: the preliminaries text with many commentaries, the Chod (Severance) text with Patrul's important commentary, and the complete Highest Wisdom text (khrid yig ye shes bla ma). We will be doing further translations too, in the future.
