The following work was done by B. Tsering and Lobsang Khyenrab under the supervision of Nawang Thokmey at the University of Virginia library as paid for by the library. Unfortunately it was not preserved properly and got corrupted. However it may still be useful to clean up and offer as a digital catalog of this important collection.

The first volume of the new redaction of the Rin chen gter mdzod contains four texts, all belonging to the first group, the historical group, of the three into which the collection is divided.

The first text is the famed Bka' than" Zhangs gling ma, a life of Guru Padmasambhava revealed by Mnga'-bdag Myang-ral Nyi-ma-'od-zer. The second text is a verse presentation of the essence of the life of the Guru Rin-po-che by 'Jam-mgon Kong-sprul Blo-gros-mtha'-yas.

The third work is the life of Guru Padmasambhava written on the basis of Indian sources. This work was written in 1610 by the great Jo-nang Rje-btsun Taranitha at the behest of one Gtsang-smyon Kun-dga'-dpal-bzang.

The last title, the collected brief biographies of the gter-ston and visionaries of Buddhism known as the Gter ston brgya rtsa'i rnam thar, is the work of 'Jam-mgon Kong-sprul Blo-gros-mtha'-yas.
