The Collected Works of the Supreme Lord of Refuge, the Vajra Holder Dilgo Khyentse, Gyurme Thekchok Tenpai Gyaltsen Palzangpo, in twenty-five volumes, was published in 1994 at the direction of his wife, Khandro Lhamo, and his grandson and successor, the Seventh Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche. The collection is a monument to Dilgo Khyentse's exemplary life as a dedicated scholar-practitioner that lead to an illustrious teaching career. As one of the last truly accomplished masters raised in old Tibet, he was instrumental in shepherding the latest generation of followers of the Tibetan Buddhist teachings and traditions. Template:6nspb A crucial facet of these activities was his extensive literary contributions. The vast majority of the Dilgo Khyentse Kabum is made up of liturgical material geared towards the ritual enactment and, or, transmission of tantric Buddhist practices. These compositions, spanning eight volumes of the collection, provide accessibility to long established, sometimes even ancient, textual traditions and practices, often streamlining and standardizing their ritual performance for a more modern audience, thus preserving their vitality for future generations. Dilgo Khyentse was also a prodigious revealer of treasures. The Dilgo Khyentse Kabum includes six volumes of treasure revelations, making him only second to Khyentse Wangpo, himself, in the sheer volume of revelatory output among the Khyentse incarnations. Many of these treasure were set into writing, or decoded, at the request or instigation of Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö, once again highlighting the unique relationship between the two masters. Furthermore, like Khyentse Wangpo before him, Dilgo Khyentse had the ability to restore lost or incomplete revelations.
