- Summary of Key Points: The way of the empowerment and transmission of the DNZ is not in order of volumes. It is given according to the teachings. The entire DNZ is given as one transmission. Therefore, it starts with sakya teachings on the zhenpa bzhi tral (Four Graspings)- free from grasping to this life, free from grasping for things for oneself, grasping to Samsaric things, grasping to the view. These things hold you back from attaining enlightenment. This teaching is given first from volume 4. THEN the index of DNZ is given. The index is like a teaching, not just a list of things. Then the lam rim of the kadampa.

Example of non-sectarianism is Kongtrul's gdams ngag mdzod.
