From the foreword by C.R. Lama:
The title of this book is Drowa Kundrol. „Drowa“ (‘Gro Ba) means moving, going, that is all sentient beings, all who possess a mind. Although in English tables and houses could also be said to move if someone moves them, Drowa refers only to those who move by the force of their minds. Kun means all, everyone, completely. „Drol“ means liberation (Grol) free, or taken out (sGrol).
Now who is taking out whom? Arya Avalokiteshvara Chenrezi (sPhyan Ras gZhigs) is the one who is taking out and his object is all sentient beings without any partiality or exceptions. They must come free from this world which is like a great ocean of suffering. Chenrezi takes them out into the open joy of enlightenment. Chenrezi is clearly described in the text in the section on praising his symbols (rTags bsTod) …

Northern Treasures:
The Northern Treasures (Byang gTer) is an important Terma tradition from the Tertön Rigdzin Godem, dating from the 14th century and practised to this day. It is also very well known for its Dzogchen cycle. We are planning to publish more books from this tradition. For more about Rigdzin Godem, please visit our website.
Chimed Rigdzin Rinpoche (1922 – 2002) was born in 1922 in Kham, Eastern Tibet. At the age of four, he was recognised as the reincarnation of the great Siddha Yogi Nuden Dorje, who in turn was the reincarnation of Khyeuchung Lotsawa (one of Padmasambhava’s 25 principal disciples).
From 1954 to 1987, Rinpoche lived in Shantiniketan, where he taught as Director of the Institute of Tibetan Studies at Vishva-Bharati University. During this time, with the assistance of Western students like James Low and Martin Boord and Tibetan scholars, he translated many texts of the Nyingma tradition, primarily from the Byang gTer and ´Khor gDong treasure text (terma) lineages.
Following his retirement in 1987, Rinpoche travelled regularly to Europe and America, where he also began to disseminate Buddhist teachings in general and, in particular, the terma teachings of Padmasambhava. In India and Poland, centres for Buddhist studies and practice were established by his disciples at Rinpoche’s request, where Rinpoche’s teachings are preserved and passed on.
