The Complete Nyingma Tradition

Post by mutsuk »

The Complete Nyingma Tradition was a Tsadra/Shambhala fascinating project. Since the passing of Gyurme Dorje last year, does anyone know if the project of publishing the remaining volumes is still on, or have the remaining volumes been cancelled?

See : https://www.tsadra.org/translation/feat ... tradition/

As far as I know only 4 volumes (covering books 1-10, 13, 14, and 15-17) have been published...

Ah, Okay. That is interesting. So do you know who is taking the charge of translating the remaining chapters?

No Idea, but he only did the Guhyagarbha section anyway, not the other published volumes. You should reach out to Marcus Perman for that other information.

I believe it was actually a project initiated by Lama Tharchin. Ngawang Zangpo was originally the primary translator, but has since moved on to other things which is what brought Gyurme Dorje onto the project. Heidi Nevin is now working on the remaining volumes, from what I understand.

Book 19: In the commentary to the natural great perfection tantras, their origin and an enumeration of their texts; their foundation—empowerment; and their vital force—the tantric bonds’ four principles
Book 20: For those of the highest degree of acumen, who can attain freedom in this lifetime—coming to conclusive certainty in the view of atiyoga

Book 25: The final result—enlightenment’s five bodies and five wisdoms, and acts of spontaneous enlightened activity
