Questions for Cyrus Stearns

Volume 17 - kun mkhyen bo dong pa chen po? - is this an author or are these titles simply indicating that the texts are the lineage of Bo dong? See Gdams ngag mdzod DPL

Volume 16- all of the texts that are attributed to rnal 'byor pa 'od dpag rdo rje have him listed as a bkod pa po, which we are translating as 'redactor' in the catalog. I have also put him down as a, author, but am not sure if he really qualifies as such.

Volume 09 -Re: bla med lhan skyes rnam bzhi'i rdzogs rim snying po don gyi phreng ba and Person:'phyong rgyas grags pa dbang po - It is not clear to me that 'phyong rgyas refers to rig 'dzin chos kyi grags pa, but it is possible. 'phyong rgyas is a place where masters of the 'brug pa bka' brgyud order have been born, but I haven't found the clear connection with the 'bri gung yet.

Volume 08 - Who is sgam po pa bkra shis rnam rgyal? Another name for Gampopa? or another name for dwags po bkra shis rnam rgyal?
