Kagyu Karchak (Bka' brgyud Dkar chag)

Note: This file should prove useful for research into the bibliography and teachings of the early Bka' brgyud pa tradition. It contains the complete texts of a few brief but old dkar chag texts, primarily the 'Flower of Words Listing' by the Second Drukchen Rinpoche. (1428-1476),

Source: The Collected Works (Gsung 'bum) of Rgyal dbang Kun dga' dpal 'byor, reproduced from the manuscript set preserved at Pha jo lding Monastery, Kunzang Tobgey, Thimphu 1977, in 2 vols. IASWR microfiche no. LMpj012,561. Vol. 2, pp. 1-20. This work must date to the year 1459. Another version of the text is available in the 1982 printing of the same author's Gsung 'bum.
