mkhyen brtse'i bka' 'bum
The Khyentse Kabum, in twenty-four volumes, consists of Khyentse Wangpo's personal writings on a remarkably wide variety of topics, along with an additional volume containing biographies written about the master. Famed as one of the primary instigators of the so-called ris med movement that spread through eastern Tibet in the 19th century, Khyentse Wangpo's nonsectarian bona fides are fully and magnificently on display in the Khyentse Kabum. His works touch upon the width and breadth of the Tibetan Buddhist philosophical and religious traditions available in his time, including all four major Buddhist schools as well as Bön. Furthermore, he wrote about the major and minor fields of knowledge, with such varied topics as logic, grammar, poetry, medicine, astrology, divination, even the creation of mandalas and the construction of stūpas and so forth. In the topical outline (sa bcad) this collection is divided into eleven sections, which are described in the Tibetan in the following ways:
- A collection of praises and supplications, which is like music to delight the victorious ones and their heirs, along with prayers for longevity and entreaties for the swift return of deceased masters that are like endless cloud banks of the ocean of spiritual qualities.
- A collection of discourses on various topics, which is like a ship that allows one to embark upon an ocean of learning. Included within, as ornaments, are a series of letters offering advice to the disciples of the buddhas and bodhisattvas that are like massive clouds of jewels.
- The inner sciences that are the essence of the intent of the sūtras and tantras, which are like clouds of the ocean of the profound meaning, including an extensive series of annotations that condense the scriptural works related to the vinaya, sūtras, abhidharma, and the tantras of both the old and new schools.
- Excellent explanations that clearly demonstrate the true meaning of the sūtras and tantras, which are like the luminous rays that emanate from the actual spheres of the sun and moon.
- The cycle of sādhanas and ritual arrangements related to a vast array of deities, which are like a precious trove of the two accomplishments that are the glorious emblems of Vajrasattva. Included within are both the new schools and the old schools, first the cycle of the new schools and second a variety of sādhanas, activity practices, and pith instructions of the three roots of the ancient translation tradition of the great secret vajrayāna.
- Clarifications on all the major and minor sciences that provide access to a clear understanding, which is like a lake to delight the goddess Sarasvatī.
- Compositions on the history of development of the Dharma, the biographies of a wide variety of scholar-practitioners, monastic chronicles and official correspondences, and so forth, which is like an amazingly delightful garden.
- Explanations of various important topics, which are like a powerful monarch capable of granting our every wish.
- A cycle of guru yoga practices and profound vajra songs, which is like a spontaneously arisen secret treasury of indestructible luminosity.
- A cycle of personal advice and instructions, which is like an ambrosia that benefits others.
- A cycle of various catalogues of sacred sites along with dedications, prayers, and invocations of auspiciousness, which are like enlightened activities that completely pervade peace and existence and magnificently bestow virtue and excellence.
