Something Jeff Watt wrote when the book came out: What is not stated in this current translation is that this text attributed to and written by Mipham Rinpoche is based on the work of Zhuchen Tsultrim Rinchen (1697-1774) of Dege Gonchen Monastery. Zhuchen was the chief editor of the Dege Tangyur and...

Hindu with circumflex?
While reading an old 1930s book I noticed Hindû used with a diacritical. Same with Hindûsthân. Nowadays I do not see that, is or was that legitimate then?
Maybe like nirvana, hindu is been Englished so often, the diacriticals are ignored??

Re: Hyongak Sunim fed up with Korean Seon
