used by the Kalmucks (with whom HPB had early contact in the Caucasus) and
Mongols.  Also, that the Stanzas of Dyzan are of Dzog chen origin was stated
by the Dalai Lama in 1992."

 

Grigor, what you write is quite interesting.  But could you expand on this

somewhat so that those of us interested might pursue this for ourselves.

 

What is this Dzog chen root text that you refer to?  Can you give us

some references for the text?  Is there a translation of it into English?

 

Again can you tell us your source for the Dalai Lama's statement?

 

Thanks.
