Introduction
The maps in this section have been specially prepared to illustrate the geographical scope of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism over the centuries from the Nyingma standpoint in particular. Their primary function is to assist the reader in locating the various places mentioned in the History, and although current international frontiers including the de facto Sino-Indian border are shown as a visual aid, their inclusion should under no circumstances be interpreted as authoritative or as a statement on recent political events.
The geographical areas illustrated here are:
I Buddhist India and Adjacent Regions

4 Western Tibet and Nepal
5 North-Central Tibet
6 South-Central Tibet and Bhutan

About the Author
HIS HOLINESS DUDJOM RINPOCHE was born in 1904 in the Puwo region of Tibet. As the supreme head of the Nyingma School, he ranked among the greatest of Tibetan Buddhist practitioners and was a lineage master upholding all the major Nyingma transmissions. He was also a discoverer of concealed treasure teachings (gter-ston) who established many teaching cycles widely practised and propagated to this day.
A prodigious and prolific scholar, his extraordinary clarity of mind manifested itself from his earliest years in an ability to communicate the profoundest teachings with a simplicity and grace that made his essential spirit readily available to all. The two treatises translated in The Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism are foremost among his several great encyclopaedic works. Compiled in exile, they were ex- pressly intended to maintain for future generations the accumulated wealth of the Nyingma teachings within their own philosophical, historical and cultural context at a time when there was a risk of their being lost.
Dudjom Rinpoche's collected writings total some nineteen Tibetan volumes, and as an editor of important Tibetan texts, he was respon- sible for such vast compilations as the Transmitted Precepts of the Nyingmapa in fifty-five volumes. The sphere of his teaching activity spread throughout Tibet and Bhutan; the Tibetan-populated areas of Nepal and India; and in the latter part of his life, to many countries in the West and South-East Asia. He passed away at his home in the Dordogne, France, in 1987.

MATTHEW KAPSTEIN (Ph. D. , Brown University, 1987) is Professor of Tibetan and Buddhist Studies at the University of Chicago. He has stud- ied with and translated for many leadingTibetan teachers, and was invited by H. H. Dudjom Rinpoche to participate in the translation of the pres- ent works beginning in 1979. His publications include The Tibetan Assim- ilation ofBuddhism (Oxford University Press), Reason)s Traces (Wisdom Publications), and, in collaboration with the anthropologist Melvyn Gold- stein, Buddhism in Contemporary Tibet (University of California Press). He is presently working on a multi-volume history of Buddhist thought in Tibet.

Introduction
The maps in this section have been specially prepared to illustrate the geographical scope of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism over the centuries from the Nyingma standpoint in particular. Their primary function is to assist the reader in locating the various places mentioned in the History, and although current international frontiers including the de facto Sino-Indian border are shown as a visual aid, their inclusion should under no circumstances be interpreted as authoritative or as a statement on recent political events.
The geographical areas illustrated here are:

About the Author
HIS HOLINESS DUDJOM RINPOCHE was born in 1904 in the Puwo region of Tibet. As the supreme head of the Nyingma School, he ranked among the greatest of Tibetan Buddhist practitioners and was a lineage master upholding all the major Nyingma transmissions. He was also a discoverer of concealed treasure teachings (gter-ston) who established many teaching cycles widely practised and propagated to this day.
A prodigious and prolific scholar, his extraordinary clarity of mind manifested itself from his earliest years in an ability to communicate the profoundest teachings with a simplicity and grace that made his essential spirit readily available to all. The two treatises translated in The Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism are foremost among his several great encyclopaedic works. Compiled in exile, they were ex- pressly intended to maintain for future generations the accumulated wealth of the Nyingma teachings within their own philosophical, historical and cultural context at a time when there was a risk of their being lost.
Dudjom Rinpoche's collected writings total some nineteen Tibetan volumes, and as an editor of important Tibetan texts, he was respon- sible for such vast compilations as the Transmitted Precepts of the Nyingmapa in fifty-five volumes. The sphere of his teaching activity spread throughout Tibet and Bhutan; the Tibetan-populated areas of Nepal and India; and in the latter part of his life, to many countries in the West and South-East Asia. He passed away at his home in the Dordogne, France, in 1987.
