Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö was recognized by Jamgön Kongtrul as one of the reincarnations of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo due to a request by the Third Katok Situ Chökyi Gyatso, the nephew and disciple of Khyentse Wangpo, who wished to install a Khyentse incarnation at Katok Dorje Den Monastery in eastern Tibet. Thus when Chökyi Lodrö was seven years old he was enthroned at Katok and taken under the care of Katok Situ who oversaw his education. However, when the Khyentse Tulku installed at Khyentse Wangpo's primary seat at Dzongsar Tashi Lhatse Monastery passed away at the age of thirteen, Katok Situ was compelled to allow Chökyi Lodrö, fifteen years old at the time, to be installed as his replacement. From then on he became known as Dzongsar Khyentse and would go on to become one of the most highly revered Tibetan masters of the twentieth century.
The Writings of Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö
The first edition of the written works of Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö was carved into wood blocks as a two volume collection of selected writings (gsung thor bu) in the years after his passing in 1959. It was not until the early 1980's that a more comprehensive eight volume collected works (gsung 'bum) was published by the Khyentse Labrang at Gangtok in Sikkim. This would become the basis for the twelve volume edition presented here, which was published in 2012 by the Khyentse Labrang at its current location in Bir in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
