Khenpo Zhangar: Nineteen Main Texts of the Indian Tradition
The Root Volume of the Seven Volumes of Khenpo Zhangar's Thirteen Annotational Commentaries
A 600+ folio volume with nineteen major texts altogether
Khenpo Zhangar was the head, many years ago, of the famed Shri Singha college at Dzogchen Gonpa in Tibet.

The root volume actually contains the nineteen texts listed below. The texts include the Five Dharmas of Maitreya and the six-fold Collection of Reasoning of Nagarjuna. They are:
