The age-old tradition of Tibetan translation of treatises with one Pandit of the source language and one translator of the destination language and a third person for checking and editing has been faithfully preserved in the preparation of this work. The present edition of the work has the additional attraction of carrying a Foreword to it by an eminent Tibetologist Professor S. Rinpoche, Director of the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies, Samath, Varanasi. (jacket). Seller Inventory # 127821
