Hor-gtsang ’Jigs-med is a refreshing and critical Tibetan
writer and thinker. His fearless and outspoken attempts to examine dGe-chos’s life and works with all their strengths and weaknesses are truly impressive.
But one of the risks in trying to be too objective may be that one ends up
being subjective! This seems to be the case when he, for example, states (Drang bden gyis bslus pa’i slong mo ba (p.
199) that one of dGe-chos’ greatest
mistakes in life has been composing his Klu
sgrub dgongs rgyan. But why? Because of the doctrinal controversiality of its content or the author’s ingenuity?
