The speech from translator Golok Chakmo

All humans born in this world are given, through their past karma,

a task that is suited for them. This seems to be the humble

task entrusted to me. Thus, wandering through the realms, I have

expended my human life on learning. Its fruit has taken the form

of a book.

When I decided to take on this translation project, I had no idea what I was getting myself into, I have never done a literary Buddhist Philosophical Translation and didn’t stop to think how difficult it would be when proposed the idea of a collaboration. 

With assistance from  Khanpo Ju Tenkyong I have completed the entire translation, Khanpo suggested to install footnotes for those abbreviated Tibetan terms, so there are  67 footnotes which are placed at the bottom of a page. They cite references or comment on a designated part of the text above it. It is hoped that this will not generate too much confusion. 

Lastly, would say thanks to Choekyi Nyinma who edited and designed the book of the English version, thank you much for your reliable help.
