Study Material
Currently, there is no English translation of Mipham Rinpoche's commentary available. John Canti, who is part of the Padmakara Translation Group, is currently working on a translation of the commentary as a Tsadra Foundation fellow.
- Please check the Uttaratantra Shastra article for a list of available commentaries.
A good study reference is Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche's commentary on the Uttaratantra Shastra that's available for free download on the Khyentse Foundations's Original Publication download page upon request. While Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche does not strictly follow the commentary we are studying, he promisses: I'm going to use Mipham Rinpoche's commentary, and also hopefully, if I have the capacity to understand and explain it to you, I will extract some of the teachings from the commentary, the Senge Naro or "Lion's Roar",[1] so I guess you will he be hearing a lot of Shentong stuff![2]
The Tibetan is contained in Mipham Rinpoche's collected works (gsung 'bum), Volume pod 4 pa
