Snow Lion Set Free by a Group of Anonymous Students

WE, BEING A small group of anonymous Dharma students. definitely see Snow Lion Meets Europe as a religious text, as a text of the Dharma. The Dharma, according to the rules of the Buddhist school of which Rinpoche was a prominent member, cannot be sold.
At the same time, we recognise that publishing a book is a project that involves time, effort, and financial resources, and that all contributors of such a project have a right to draw financial benefits from it.
The 2019 commercial edition of Snow Lion Meets Europe is an exemplary edition with a very good foreword and numerous notes. It is the full version of Rinpoche's teaching. We encourage everyone to buy this excellent edition which is available on amazon.com.
This version of the book, published on a non-commercial basis under Creative Commons International License, allows everyone who is interested in Tibetan Buddhism in general and in Rinpoche's enigmatic personality in particular, to get acquainted with Rinpoche's teaching for free.
We have honestly tried to remove from the text everything which is not a part of Rinpoche's teaching. As a result, this version contains only the barest minimum. It has no foreword, no story of how the book was written, no explanatory notes, all of which are there in the commercial version. Once again, we remind everyone of the fact that both the foreword and the notes, not included in the text of this edition, were written by people whose copyright claims on these parts of the text we do not wish to dispute.
Khenpo in the name of the actual author is a honorary title whose validity we can neither refute nor confirm. In order to avoid controversy, we have decided to remove it.
