    Description:  At this time many people from diverse nations have expressed an interest in the Buddha Dharma. The profound insight of Lord Buddha as well as of subsequent masters into the true nature of things is primarily contained in various extensive works written and accumulated throughout the ages. Many of these treasures are still preserved in their original languages. Due to the combination of the increased interest and the inaccessibility in modern language of these precious teachings, I wished to have some texts translated.


    Lord Buddha, corresponding to the capacities of the recipients, expounded the Dharma in various ways. Generally these are classified into the three yanas: Hinayana, Mahayana and the most profound, Vajrayana. Accordingly, there are many methods by which the realized ones have expressed the Dharma. One of the most beautiful means is through dohas, or spontaneous songs of devotion and insight. Dohas are the direct result of accomplishment in the Mantrayana practice, specifically in the practice of Trekchö, or cutting through. It is, therefore required that one has received oral instructions on mind essence according to Mahamudra or Dzogchen from a qualified master as a preliminary to reading these texts.
