The six greatnesses of the Early Translations (Tib. སྔ་འགྱུར་ཆེ་བ་དྲུག, Wyl. ngagyur chewa druk) — Rongzom Chökyi Zangpo explains[1] that the Early Translations (Tib. Nyingma) are superior to the New Translations (Tib. Sarma) in six ways:
- The greatness of the benefactors who brought the teachings
- The greatness of the location where the teachings were translated
- The greatness of the lotsawas who translated the teachings
- The greatness of the panditas who clarified the teachings for the translators
- The greatness of the offerings
- The greatness of the teachings translated
