Description

Collected teachings necessary for the practice of the Lamdre system called the Tsokshe, special to the Ngorpa order of the Sakya. Compiled under the inspiration of Jamyang Loter Wangpo (1847-1914) in the closing years of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th century. The blocks were carved under the patronage of the rulers of Dege. This is part of the collection that comprises three separate compilations of profound Sakya teachings, including the Lamdre lobshe [W23649] and Namdrel chuchik [W24767]. The teachings brought together the systems of transmission of the Tsarpa and Ngorpa suborders. When these were printed under the auspices of the Library of Congress in New Delhi, the blockprint collections then available in India in 1985 were incomplete, particularly the Namdrel chuchik, or the Eleven Commentaries on the Dorjei tsik kang rkang written by Sachen Kunga Nyingpo (1092-1158) for eleven of his disciples.
