Zoran Lazovic (of UC Santa Barbara) is currently working on translating some of the texts in this volume.
(The 108 quintessential instructions compiled by the Jonang master Kunga Drolchok (1507-1565/66), and then completed by his lineage successor Taranatha (1575-1634). Collection includes the essential instructions for each lineage, short histories of each of the 108 instruction lineages, supplications, and supplementary materials. The precepts and explanations for these instruction lineages converged, and are transmitted through the Jonang tradition.)
