Now that almost half of our 'ZP Gang' are here in Bhutan, we are well under way with the progress of our work on volume 1 of the book, of which the deadline is January 12 at the publishers in Bangkok. Volume 2 will come out a little before May 2012.
Well changes so far are:
Vol 1 will include: Tulku Thondup's description and details of ZP, 15 murals of ZP in Bhutan and Guru Rinpoche's biography of his stay in Bhutan.
Since this book is going to be larger(in many ways), Dzongkha or the Choekyi version will only come out much later and in a different format(as per the guidelines of our two scholars Tengkhey and Sangye Dorji) that will be somewhat of a spiritual guide book and informative guide for those seeking Guru Rinpoche and his Paradise and ofcourse historical information related to Bhutan, Guru Rinpoche and Buddhism. The boys are so excited that a whole SEPARATE version in Dzongkha is coming out, they very nearly fell out of thier chairs yesterday!!
Vol 2 will involve only of the ZP structure in Kurjey built by Her Majesty as it is going to be quite detailed and informative.
Tomorrow Khun Pui and I are on the way to Tshelungney and dayafter to Chimphu!! Extremely excited to be going somewhere and that also to Guru Rinpoche's sacred sites. The boys are off to Taktsang to look at the 2 murals there. P'Pook and co will be joining us this Dec 7th!! We are all having a nice little group photo for the book.
Truely hope its going to be as useful and as wonderful as it looks.
