In July a post appeared on WeChat entitled “A Manuscript in Dzongsar Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö’s Own Handwriting” (རྫོང་སར་མཁྱེན་བརྩེ་ཆོས་ཀྱི་བློ་གྲོས་ཀྱི་ཕྱག་བྲིས་ཕྱག་བསྟར་མ།).¹ The text in question is an aspiration, composed in the vicinity of the Jokhang in Lhasa for a Sakya monk named Jamyang Tsultrim from Tsedong (rtse gdong) Monastery, possibly in 1955. It consists of six verses and is general in theme but clearly written from a Sakya perspective—in which the view is the recognition of saṃsāra and nirvāṇa’s inseparability (‘khor ‘das dbyer med).

To my knowledge, the text has not appeared in any edition of Jamyang Khyentse’s writings published to date.
