[[rdo bla]] is a nom de plume or pen name used by the 1st Drdrubchen for authorship, which was an abbreviation for Dodrub Lama. As I have not seen any of the other Dodrubchen's use this name, and his was again the only one I have seen use the name Dodrub Lama, I will at this point say it should always mean the 1st [[Dodrupchen Rinpoche]] [[Jigme Trinley Ozer]] when seen as the author's name within a given prayer or text.[BL]

A bit thin and sporadic in output, in his translations, Ken has focused his efforts on rendering Tibetan texts in highly readable, natural, even poetic English. With no formal training in Tibetan, Ken's knowledge of Tibetan is based primarily on his association with Kalu Rinpoche in the early '70s and his participation in two three-year retreats. Currently living in Los Angeles, he directs Unfettered Mind, a non-profit organization that provides training in Buddhist practice for those whose path lies outside established centers and institutions.

Ken McLeod[edit]

A bit thin and sporadic in output, in his translations, Ken has focused his efforts on rendering Tibetan texts in highly readable, natural, even poetic English. With no formal training in Tibetan, Ken's knowledge of Tibetan is based primarily on his association with Kalu Rinpoche in the early '70s and his participation in two three-year retreats. Currently living in Los Angeles, he directs Unfettered Mind, a non-profit organization that provides training in Buddhist practice for those whose path lies outside established centers and institutions.
