	The Rinchen Terdzö Chenmo is the largest of the Five Treasuries that Jamgön Kongtrul the Great (~~{{prsn\|~~'jam mgon kong sprul blo gros mtha' yas}}, 1813-1899) compiled throughout his life. This extraordinary collection is comprised of the main Rediscovered Treasures (''gter ma'') of Tibetan Buddhism and the texts necessary to bestow the related empowerments and explanations to practice them. ~~{{prsn\|~~Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo}} traveled for thirteen years throughout Central and Eastern Tibet in order to collect the texts and receive the transmissions for the many lineages that had become almost extinct and held by only a few people. The actual redaction and editing of the Rinchen Terdzö was accomplished by Jamgön Kongtrul at the monastery-hermitage of Dzongshö Deshek Dupa, a secluded mountain retreat located between Dzongsar and Kathok, where Khyentse Wangpo had revealed a set of termas related to the Eight Herukas (''grub pa bka' brgyad''). Wooden-blocks were then carved at Palpung Monastery creating a 60-volume edition. From this edition, another set of wooden-blocks was carved at Tsurphu Monastery with three additional volumes. These three included the [[Sgrub thabs 'dod 'jo'i bum bzang\|Döjo Bumzang]], which was compiled by {{prsn\|Minling Terchen Gyurme Dorje}} (1646-1714) and is considered to be the "seed" of the Rinchen Terdzö, the autobiography of Jamgön Kongtrul, and the root text of {{prsn\|Chogyur Lingpa}}’s {{prsn\|Lamrim Yeshe Nyingpo}} with a detailed commentary by Jamgön Kongtrul.

	Thus, this edition consisted of 70 volumes. It was printed in Delhi, India, by Khyentse Rinpoche’s treasurer, Lama Ngodrup, and his team. It was published thanks to the matchless support of [http://about.tbrc.org/e-gene-smith/biography/ E. Gene Smith] and the United States Library of Congress. Since the Library of Congress did not commission volumes containing more than 600 pages, the Thimphu Edition was skillfully divided into 111 volumes for use in foreign libraries, and re-arranged into the original 70 volumes for the use of monasteries. Five hundred sets were distributed by Khyentse Rinpoche - more than half for free - to monasteries, lamas, and practitioners. The transmission of the whole cycle of these teachings could then be given on several occasions to thousands of lineage holders and disciples. This collection is in nearly thirty university libraries throughout the world. At the outset, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche had wanted to use prints from the original Palpung edition. However, only one set of prints of this edition existed outside Tibet, at the Institute of Tibetology in Sikkim, and at that time it was not available for reproduction. Therefore, Khyentse Rinpoche used the Tsurphu edition, which was available in India. Since many of the prints of this edition were not clear enough for direct reproduction by photo-offset a group of Tibetan and Bhutanese copyists traced most of the volumes using semi-transparent tracing paper that created some additional mistakes. Consequently, the edition was not up to the standard that Khyentse Rinpoche had wanted to achieve, even though it served a most beneficial purpose. This edition has been out of print for more than ten years.		Thus, this edition consisted of 70 volumes. It was printed in Delhi, India, by Khyentse Rinpoche’s treasurer, Lama Ngodrup, and his team.

	During his lifetime, ~~{{prsn\|~~Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche}} (1910-1991) gave the transmission of the Rinchen Terdzö five times and had the collection reprinted in India. In this 1976-1980 “Thimphu Edition” Khyentse Rinpoche included the four-volume manual written by the XVth Karmapa, {{prsn\|Khakhyap Dorje}} (1871-1922), with information and complementary texts that are indispensable for giving the numerous empowerments (around 1700) found in the Rinchen Terdzod. He also included a few volumes that, according to the indications given by Jamgon Kongtrul himself, should have been added to the original collection. These are {{prsn\|Chogyur Lingpa}}'s [[Dzogchen Desum]], {{prsn\|Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo}}'s [[Tsasum Osel Nyingthig]], and {{prsn\|Jedrung Trinley Jampa Jungney}}'s [[Pema Sangthig]]. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche himself gathered three volumes of supplementary texts to be inserted at the appropriate places in the collection. These contain lineage prayers, texts for giving empowerments, manuals for recitation practice, and so on.

	Thus, this edition consisted of 70 volumes. It was printed in Delhi, India, by Khyentse Rinpoche’s treasurer, Lama Ngodrup, and his team. It was published thanks to the matchless support of [http://about.tbrc.org/e-gene-smith/biography/ E. Gene Smith] and the United States Library of Congress. Since the Library of Congress did not commission volumes containing more than 600 pages, the Thimphu Edition was skillfully divided into 111 volumes for use in foreign libraries, and re-arranged into the original 70 volumes for the use of monasteries. Five hundred sets were distributed by Khyentse Rinpoche - more than half for free - to monasteries, lamas, and practitioners. The transmission of the whole cycle of these teachings could then be given on several occasions to thousands of lineage holders and disciples. This collection is in nearly thirty university libraries throughout the world. At the outset, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche had wanted to use prints from the original Palpung edition. However, only one set of prints of this edition existed outside Tibet, at the Institute of Tibetology in Sikkim, and at that time it was not available for reproduction. Therefore, Khyentse Rinpoche used the Tsurphu edition, which was available in India. Since many of the prints of this edition were not clear enough for direct reproduction by photo-offset a group of Tibetan and Bhutanese copyists traced most of the volumes using semi-transparent tracing paper that created some additional mistakes. Consequently, the edition was not up to the standard that Khyentse Rinpoche had wanted to achieve, even though it served a most beneficial purpose. This edition has been out of print for more than ten years.		Thus, this edition consisted of 70 volumes. It was printed in Delhi, India, by Khyentse Rinpoche’s treasurer, Lama Ngodrup, and his team.
