Masters of the Nyingma Lineage presents biographical summaries of more than 350 Nyingma masters who are authors in the Great Treasures collection, together with accounts of few additional early lineage holders. Much of this information, including names, dates, contributions, and key details is here presented in English for the first time. An overview introduces each historical period, beginning with the time of the Buddha and continuing through the time of the great Tertons in all Tibetan traditions.
