Note on translation work, October 27, 2010:
I'm recently back from manuscript research trip to China and India, found some interesting ones, and one illuminated gser 'phreng account.
Currently working on translating a ms text Karmapa Orgyan Trinley gave to me, it purports to be a record of Karma Pakshi's direct account of his previous lives, so is probably written by an immediate disciple (the author is not declared). It's 40 pages. Ongoing is my translating of Karma Pakshi's autobiography, 135 pages.

The Kagyu school traces its origin to the eleventh-century translator Marpa, who studied in India with Nāropa. Marpa's student Milarepa trained Gampopa, who founded the first monastery of the Kagyu order. As many as twelve subtraditions grew out from there, the best known being the Karma Kagyu, the Drikung, and the Drukpa.

The disciples of the Buddha who aspire to attain individual liberation or nirvāṇa. The final goal of the Hearers is to become an arhat, a state in which one has totally eliminated the inner problems of attachment, hatred and ignorance, the main causes for rebirth in this cycle of existence. There are four stages of a śrāvaka path including eight phases.
