Assistant translators and editors: [[Shenpen Lhamo]], with suggestions from [[Marcia Binder Schmidt]], [[Adam Pearcey]] and [[Thomas Doctor]]. Thanks to [[Joanne Larson]] and [[Matthew Zalichin]] for proof-reading. The present translation is due to Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche’s constant guidance, encouragement and prodding; to the compassion and wisdom of the teachers mentioned above; to the generous sponsorship of [[George MacDonald]]; and to the kindness of all my Dharma friends who helped at various stages of this project. Special thanks to [[Phinjo Sherpa]] for typing the Tibetan text and to [[Khenpo Pema Gyaltsen]] for proof-reading it.<br>
Since this edition is meant for classroom use, the original Tibetan text is included. The words within square brackets are primarily from ''[[Lekshey Nangwey Ozer]]'', the chendrel (filling-in) commentary written down by Mipham Rinpoche’s student, [[Khenpo Nüden]]. The numbering of ‘chapter-and-verse’ and pages are a continuation of Volume I & II. Lastly, we would like to express our gratitude to Kyabje [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]] who, in the early days after leaving Tibet, personally sponsored the woodblocks that were the source of our Tibetan manuscript.<br>
