One of the key portions of this valuable book are the epilogues, which provide translations of other verses by Giun and other early St teachers. Heine includes an extremely valuable, comprehensive, and detailed essay about the history of the many commentaries on Dgen up to modern times, including during the St school's banning of Shbgenz from 1722 to 1796. This essay alone will be a major benefit for all English speakers interested in St history.

Heine's translations and comments on the verses are certainly elucidating in terms of their meaning, not only of the symbolic meaning or metaphysical message of the poems but also of the literal meaning of the words and phrases, which, to complete the circle, is often a reflection of the symbolic and metaphysical expression of both Dgen's and Giun's Zen.
