Dragpa Gyaltsan's writings in Tibetan fill four volumes of almost a
thousand pages each. He was a statesman, a physician, an historian,
and a poet, not to mention an adept in Buddhist practice, both
exoteric and esoteric. The present volume of translations
represents a mere sampling of his extraordinary literary acumen. I
have made selections from his poetry and historical writings, an
account of his dreams, and a few practice related works. These
works will be interesting to many kinds of readers, depending on
their personal inclinations. I have included one work written by
his brother, Sonam Tsemo: The Six Dharmas of Guru Vajrasana. I
present these to you as literature for you to enjoy. The practices
that are described in some of the works are meant to be pursued
under the instruction of a qualified teacher. Readers who find them
intriguing are encouraged to seek out such guidance. My translation
of a biography of Dragpa Gyaltsan, written by Sakya Pandita, is to
be found in the first volume of the Sakya Kongma Series: Sakya
Pandita's Poetic Wisdom. A Melody of Experience for Yeshe Dorje,
included in this volume, was first published in Melody of Dharma,
the official magazine of the Sakya Drolma Podrang.
