A Collection of Drikung Kyobpa’s Key Instructions

This book was published by Drikung Dharmakirti Translation Team in honor of His Holiness Drikung Kyabgön Chetsang Rinpoche’s transmission of the Dam Ngak Dzö from October 10, 2024 to December 5, 2025 at Rinchenling Monastery, Nepal. A total of 28 short teachings from the “Collected Teachings of Kyobpa” (Kyobpa Kabum) in English are presented in this book. These short texts recording Kyobpa Jikten Sumgön’s profound instructions are organized into the three general parts of “Virtuous at the Beginning, in the Middle and at the End.” 

“Virtuous at the Beginning” consists of three teachings on how to establish “auspicious interdependence” (tashi tendrel) for smooth and successful Dharma practice.

”Virtuous in the Middle” is further divided into five sections according to the Fivefold Mahamudra—bodhicitta, yidam, devotion, natural state, and dedication. Twenty-four teachings are translated here. 

“Virtuous at the End” is a translation of Kyobpa Rinpoche’s instructions on how to practice the dharmapāla practice of Achi Chökyi Drolma.

This book was printed for free distribution during the Dam Ngak Dzö in Nepal. Subsequently, the Drikung Kagyu Foundation USA paid for the shipping of these books back to the USA. We have listed the nominal price of US$1 for this book so that we can offer this book through Tibetan Spirit’s payment platform.
