Jamgon Kongtrul was a versatile and prolific scholar. He has been characterized as a ""Tibetan Leonardo"" because of his significant contributions to religion, education, medicine, and politics. The Padmakara Translation Group, based in France, has a distinguished reputation for its translations of Tibetan texts and teachings. Its work has been published in several languages and renowned for its clear and accurate literary style.
In his vast work The Treasury of Precious Instructions, Jamgoen Kongtrul Lodroe Taye, that most eminent of Tibetan Buddhist masters, collected together all the empowerments, instructions, and practices of the eight great chariots of the practice lineages. Not only that, but he himself received the complete transmissions for all the practices, accomplished them including the retreats, and preserved them in his own mindstream. He then passed on the transmissions to his own students and all who requested them. The Treasury of Precious Instructions exemplifies how Jamgoen Kongtrul Lodroe Taye's whole life was dedicated to teaching and spreading the Dharma, whether it be sutra or mantra, kama or terma, old or new translation school, free of sectarian bias. Without his supreme efforts, many traditions of Tibetan Buddhism would have been lost. -from the foreword by His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje
