- 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 ཞེན་པ་བཞི་བྲལ་ (zhen pa bash bral- "parting from the four attachments")- free from grasping to this life, free from grasping to things for oneself, grasping to everything Samsaric, and grasping to the view. These things hold you back from attaining enlightenment. This teaching is given, and 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. Talking about Rime - Everyone should be non-sectarian, but you should practice whatever you practice and belong to one particular lineage and practice in that lineage and support that lineage.
