This volume is mostly based on the French translations and abridgements that have been prepared for publication by the Khyung-Lung Editions. The present work is the second edition of the original book published by the Naldjor Institute. It has been augmented with a section of biographies containing, in abridged form, the life-stories of four of the most important lineage holders of Atri (A khrid): 1. Dampa Ritröpa Chenpo, the founder of the lineage; 2. Yorpo Mepel, the 5th lineage holder, who was probably the first to use the expression Atri to characterize these teachings; 3. KündroÅNl Drakpa, the 26th lineage holder, who elaborated a fascinating set of complementary instructions associated with the original instructions of Atri; and 4. Shardza Rinpoche, one of the most important recent masters of Bön who reached Rainbow Body in 1934.
