-I (Heidi) would like to thank Kyabje Tulku Sonam Chöpel, student of
-Orgyen Chemchok Rinpoche (a close disciple of Khenpo Ngakchung),
-for granting me the reading transmission; Khenpo Sangye of Gyarong for
-countless hours of explanations at the outset of the translation; Lhagang
-Khenpo Tashi of Minyak for his patient guidance throughout the first
-draft; Lama Tsering Gyaltsen of Corvallis for his constant encouragement
-and clarifications; Tulku Tubzang of Palyul for advice and explanations of
-cryptic passages; Gyarong Khenpo Lhabum for help with local dialects;
-Lobpon Jigme Tutop Namgyal for answering many questions and for clarifying
-the restriction on the text; Jules Levinson and Douglas Duckworth
-for invaluable help on the Madhyamaka sections; Joseph Bailey and Joseph
-Wagner for encouragement and monetary donations to the project; Joshua
-Hayes and Victor Miller for helpful feedback on the introduction; and my
-dear vajra sister Sarah Jacoby for constant moral support and excellent,
-detailed feedback on the entire manuscript.
-In answer to my fervent prayers, Tulku Thondup Rinpoche gave endlessly
-of his time and unfathomable knowledge, answering countless questions
-and clarifying difficult points throughout the manuscript, as well as
-generously composing a foreword for the book. Words cannot express my
-gratitude for his scholarship and support. Also in answer to my prayers,
-translator and Tibetologist Dr. Gyurme Dorje edited the entire manuscript
-line by line against two editions of the Tibetan original, vastly improving
-the accuracy of the translation. He systematized terminology, standardized
-hundreds of text titles, identified countless personal and place names, corrected
-and added hundreds of endnotes, and prepared a colossal bibliography
-of works cited by the author. I am deeply grateful for his tremendous
-efforts.
-Cortland Dahl, president of Tergar International, was a source of constant
-encouragement, and he secured funding for the project from an
-anonymous benefactor, enabling me to dedicate myself fully to the project.
-For this, as well as two special grants generously awarded by the Khyentse
-Foundation, I am inexpressibly grateful. I would also like to thank my
-cotranslator, Jakob Leschly, who has been an exemplary vajra brother and a
-source of inestimable knowledge, insight, support, and laughter. Without
-him, I never would have had the courage to keep going with this project.
-I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my parents, Kirk and
-Susan Nevin, and my sister, Liv Gifford, for their constant love and support.
-Most of all, I wish to thank my selfless husband and vajra brother, Gyarong
-Tsultrim Yampel, who married me shortly after I began this translation and
-saw it through to the end, keeping bread on the table year after year, helping
-me with countless passages, and cracking the whip of diligence over my lazy
-back. This book couldn’t have happened without him. And a warm thank
-you to our sweet children, Clara and Tashi, whose births and early years
-were interwoven with this project.
