This summa of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu s researches is dedicated first
and foremost to his fellow countrymen and women and to Tibetan
youth in particular. The text was originally conceived as a set of
university lectures that Chogyal Namkhai Norbu was invited to give
at the University of Nationalities in Beijing in 1988, forming a
first abridged version of The Light of Kailashsubsequently enlarged
by the author after further research; the manuscript through
meticulous selection and a critical use and analysis of a vast
array of literary and frequently unpublished sources became a work
of 1,900 pages divided in three volumes. The first volume, The
Early Period, the History of Ancient Zhang Zhung, considers the
rise of early human generations and the Bon lineages of ancient
Zhang Zhung, its dynasties, language, and culture. The second
volume, The History of the Intermediate Period: Tibet and Zhang
Zhung, is focused upon human generations, the Bonpo lineages, the
spread of Bon during the lifetimes of the first Tibetan monarchs,
the dynasties, written language, and civilization of ancient Tibet,
as well as upon the reigns of specific kings, the Bon religion, and
Bonpo religious figures (Dran-pa Nam-mkha in particular) of Zhang
Zhung during that period. The third volume, The History of the
Later Period: Tibet, is concerned with an assessment of the
genealogies, Bonpo lineages, royal dynasties (from the first
monarch gNya -khri bTsan-po until the forty-fifth monarch
Khri-dar-ma U-dum-btsan), language, and civilization of Tibet. This
amazing trilogy, aptly named The Light of Kailash, offers an open,
daring, holistic, unbiased approach to the study of the cultural
and spiritual heritage of Tibet and to the understanding of the
origin of this fascinating and endangered civilization.
