(2.1.2.2.2) Hevajra Teachings

This section contains six tantras from the Hevajra tradition.

Note that some catalogs treat the two parts of the famous root tantra as two separate titles (the first being ཀྱེའི་རྡོ་རྗེ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་རྒྱུད་ཀྱི་རྒྱལ་པོ་, kye’i rdo rje zhes bya ba rgyud kyi rgyal po, and the second ཀྱེའི་རྡོ་རྗེ་མཁའ་འགྲོ་མ་དྲ་བའི་སྡོམ་པའི་རྒྱུད་ཀྱི་རྒྱལ་པོ་, kye’i rdo rje mkha’ ’gro ma dra ba’i sdom pa’i rgyud kyi rgyal po). Both of these are included in a single catalog number (D.419) here in the THL Catalog.
