Foreword

The root text of Lamrim Yeshe Nyingpo, a terma revealed by the great treasure-finder Chokgyur Lingpa, and its commentary by Kongtrül Rinpoche, the great translator Vairochana in person, form together a complete scripture that embodies all the tantras, statements, and instructions of the Nyingma School of the Early Translations, which is most rare to find in the past, present, or future.

At this time when the sunlight of the precious teachings of the Buddha spread throughout foreign countries, the bright Dane Erik Pema Kunsang, with the thought to help others, has translated into English the sections on the preliminaries and the attitude of awakened mind. I find it important that all Dharma practitioners study and reflect upon this book.

This was written by old Dilgo Khyentse on the tenth day of the first month in the Year of the Iron Sheep [February 24, 1991] in order to inspire further goodness.
