Longchenpa's Kunjed Diidon and Rinchen Druwo (volume 7)
Kunjed Gyalpo Root Text with Tibetan Critical Edition (volume 8)
 Translator's Introduction

In the fourteenth century AD Longchenpa (I 308- I 363) wrote

down the history of early dzogchen masters who lived from about the third
century BC to the ninth century AD. 1 His book explains that Garab Dorje
was born to a Buddhist nun in the Dhanakosha region of the country named
Oddiyana about 360 years after Buddha Shakyamuni's death. Garab Dorje
received dzogchen teachings, including the Kunjed Gya/po, in pure
visions. His principal disciple, Manjushrimitra, was born near Budhgaya
in India. For 75 years Manjushrimitra studied and practiced with Garab
Dorje. When Garab Dorje manifested the rainbow body, Manjushrimitra
received his final teaching about primordial knowledge in Garab Dorje's
three statements: direct introduction, transcendence of all doubts, and
continuation in knowledge. Based upon these three statements,
Manjushrimitra divided dzogchen teachings into three sections: semde,
longde, and Upadesha.
Longchenpa lists the twenty-one principal dzogchen semde texts
in his auto-commentary on his ChOying Dzod. Book #19, the Kunjed
Gyalpo, is the fundamental root text of dzogchen semde. The 2400 page
commentary2 on the Kunjed Gyalpo named Ornament of the State of
Samantabhadra: Commentary on The All-Creating King, Pure Perfect
Presence, Great Perfection of All Phenomena 3 was begun by the 19th
century Khenpo Thubten Perna Rabgye 4 with his student, Khenpo
Zhenphen bser,5 who completed the text after his teacher's death. These
scholar-practitioners were knowledgeable about early dzogchen texts
translated into Tibetan by Vairochana. They often quote Rongzompa

Logyu Chenmo), which is found in volume 9 of the Nyingthig Yazhi.

 This Michael Peeler was one of a dozen men who bore the
task of erecting the Lower Stone (Grace) Reformed Church, a large
stone church two and a half miles from Rockwell. The church has
been standing for nearly 140 years, and is still in excellent condition.
His father, Michael Peeler, Sen., and others had evidently raised
money and had gathered together materials for many years. In 1771
Michael Peeler, Anthony Peeler, and Christian Peeler, together with a
great many other citizens of Granville County, North Carolina,
petitioned the English Assembly to excuse them from paying church
tax, that they themselves were engaged in building two churches.
The records in Granville County show that these three men
purchased land there in 1760, and in 1773 they sold their interest.
There were no subsequent records concerning them. It is uncertain
as to who these three men were, but since knowing that there were
really no Michaels in other families, and only one other Anthony, and
since Christian Peeler was also in Rowan County, we are of the
opinion that Michael and Anthony, the sons of Michael Buller,
possibly tried it out first in Granville County, and then came back to
Rowan County, and Michael remained here, while Anthony, a few
years afterwards, went to Broad River, South Carolina. However, it is
not impossible for this to have been the older Michael and the
Anthony who heads another family in this county. On November 4,
1806, Sophia Clutz, age 13 years and 8 months, an orphan of Martin
Clutz, was bound to Michael Peeler until she was 18 years of age. 3

Lewis D. Peeler 1866 — 1931

 LKwis D. PkKIvEr Rowan Comity is justly proud of the class
of her citizenship. East Rowan does not lay particular claim to its
superiority in this respect, but it is a recognized fact that many
leaders of industry come from that section. Lewis D. Peeler, born and
reared in that part of the county, can easily be rated as one of the
leading citizens coming from that section. Mr. Peeler was born on a
farm, about five miles east of Salisbury. He had the good fortune of
having parents characteristic of the pioneer stock of that day. He
was born September 24, 1866, just after the close of the war, his
parents being Paul Peeler and Mary Catherine (Hartman) Peeler. In
common with those of that day, they partook of the many hardships
caused by the war. Lewis having been reared under these conditions,
at a time when economy and thrift were essential, he inherited many
of those qualities, which had much to do with the forming of his fine
character. He attended the district school in the community, and later
entered North Carolina College, Mt. Pleasant, where he studied two
years. In order to prepare for his business career he attended
Smithdeal's Business College, Richmond, Virginia. In 1891, he
accepted a position with A. Parker, a well and favorably known
merchant in Salisbury. He was connected with this establishment
until May, 1897. At this time he married Ellen Evan Holshouser, only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Holshouser, of near Rockweh, North
Carolina. Soon after his marriage, he resigned his position to take
charge of the Holshouser estate, where he carried on farming on
quite a large scale. He readily found a welcome in that community
and became a leader in its activities. 74
 The larger field of business called clear and loud to him,
and in January, 1907, he moved to Salisbury and associated himself
with the Kluttz Grain and Provision Company, as its secretary-
treasurer. This company finally became the Peeler Company, one of
the leading wholesale concerns in this section. He entered other
lines of business, among them the manufacture of soft drinks. The
Cheerwine Bottling Company, a leading concern if its kind, is largely
the result of his labors. Not yet satisfied with his business success,
he entered the hotel business. In 1921 he became part owner of the
Yadkin Hotel and became one of its directors. In 1926, he was made
manager, which position he held until his death. This hotel is the
leading one in this part of the state. He also served as director of the
First National Bank, of Salisbury. The Peeler residence on Mitchell
Avenue, into which he moved in 1927, is regarded as one of the
most beautiful in the city. Here he lived very happily until his death,
January 27, 1931. His children are Clifford A., Pauline Katherine (Mrs.
W. L. Tatum), and Lewis. Thus closed the Hfe of a very remarkable
man. He is justly rated as one of our most successful business men,
but this is but a part of his accomplishments. He was public spirited
and was always found in the ranks of those engaged in community
betterment. He was a very active member of the Lutheran Church.
His membership was held in St. John's, in the construction of which
church he took an important part. He was a member of the building
committee, and this splendid edifice stands as a monument to his
memory. As a token of love and appreciation of him, his family
placed a magnificent set of chimes in the tower of the church, where
at nightfall sentiments of love and affection are pealed forth, a most
fitting tribute to one of Rowan's leading citizens. 75

Alexander, son of Lewis D. Peeler and wife Ellen E. C. (Holshouser)
Peeler, was born near Rockwell, North Carolina, October 14, 1903,
and moved with father and mother, to Salisbury in the fall of 1907.
His elementary education was secured in the Public Schools of
Salisbury. He entered the University of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill,
North Carolina, in the fall of 1920 and finished his four years' work in
the spring of 1924, with the degree of Bachelor of Science. He
entered Columbia University, New York City, that fall and finished in
the spring of 1925 with the degree of Master of Science. In June,
1925, he was made Assistant Manager of the Cheerwine Bottling Co.
and became manager of same in 1928. In 1929 he was made
Secretary and Treasurer of the Carolina Beverage Corp. Upon the
death of his father, the late Lewis D. Peeler, January 27, 1931, he
became the operating executor of his estate and at same time was
made Secretary and Treasurer of the Carolina Hotel Co. Member Chi
Phi Social fraternity, Carolina; holder of letter in intercollegiate
debate, Carolina; member Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity,
Columbia; member Salisbury Civitan Club since 1925;
Superintendent intermediate department Sunday School and deacon
St. John's Lutheran Church since 1928. Elected President North
Carolina Bottlers Association 1932. On September 25, 1927, Mr.
Peeler was married to Lillian Alda Caldwell of Newton, North
Carolina. Two 76
 children have been born to this union, Nancy Whitener, b.
March 7, 1930, and Shirley Evan, b. September 17, 1931. 7 Chfford
A. Peeler's children: 8 Nancy Whitener, b. March 7, 1930; Shirley
Evan, b. September 17, 1931. PkeIvKr, John MichaKl, son of Paul
Peeler and wife Mary C. (Hartman) Peeler, was born September 10,
1872, on his father's farm 6 miles east of Sahsbury, North Carolina.
Unlike most of boys, he is glad he was raised on the farm, where he
could communicate with God seven days in the week. When old
enough, he attended school at Rowan Academy and finished his
Academic course at the age of 19. He then entered North Carolina
College at Mt. Pleasant, a school of the North Carolina Lutheran
Synod. He entered college with the idea of being a lawyer, but after
reading law for one year, he came to the conclusion that what was
morally right was not always legally right. His instructor advised him
to prepare himself for teaching. After finishing college, he entered
the teaching profession, which he continued for six years in the
public schools of North Carolina. At that time school teachers were
as poorly paid as they are now, and he had to seek other vocations
of life. When Mr. Peeler entered the business world, it was as
bookkeeper for Alexander Parker, which position he held for three
years. He then accepted a position as bookkeeper for the Salisbury
Savings Bank and applied himself for the purpose of becoming a
banker. In 1900 the Wachovia Bank and Trust Co. bought the
Salisbury Savings Bank, and he became the Assistant Cashier, which
position he held until 1905, when he was elected cashier of the
Stanley County Loan and Trust Co. of Albemarle, North Carolina. On
account of a breakdown in health, and on the advice of his
physician, he resigned as cashier of the Stanley 77
 County Loan and Trust Co. July, 1914, and moved back to
Salisbury, North Carolina, where on September 1st, 1914, he and his
brother Lewis, entered the wholesale Grocery Business. Of the
positions held, he enjoyed teaching more than anything else,
beheving a conscientious teacher has the welfare of the church and
state in his hands in training the minds of the children to think right
and go straight. On November 10, 1909, Mr. Peeler was joined in
Holy Matrimony with Miss Blanche Huntley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
G. W. Huntley, of Wadesboro, North Carolina. PkkIvKr, Arthur
Gregory, son of Paul and Mary C. (Hartman) Peeler, was born
October 10, 1878. He attended the free public school at Rowan
Academy during his early life, after which he spent sometime at
North Carolina College at Mt. Pleasant, North Carolina. At the age of
twenty-two he secured a position with Alexander Parker, of Salisbury,
North Carolina, as bookkeeper for him in his variety store and
bakery. This service continued for twelve years, after which Mr.
Peeler organized the Salisbury Bakery, and later purchased a place
on Main Street and moved it to this building. He is interested in a
number of enterprises in Salisbury and other places. He organized,
and is Secretary and Treasurer of the United Baking Co., of
Lexington. He also organized the United Oil Co,. Salisbury, North
Carolina, and is Secretary and Treasurer of it. He is also Secretary
and Treasurer of the Star Laundry Co., is a Director of the Wachovia
Bank and Trust Co., and also Director of the Yadkin Hotel Co.,
SaHsbury, North Carolina. Trading in real estate is a hobby with him.
Mr. Peeler has served for sometime on the important school board of
the City of Salisbury. He is a member, 78
 and has been an officer for a number of years, of St. John's
Lutheran Church. In 1909 Mr. Peeler was married to Miss Ola M.
Trexler, of Salisbury, North Carolina. Two children were born to this
union, Arthur Gregory, Jr., and Sarah. Arthur Gregory, Jr., was born
July 24, 1910, and after completing his studies in the Salisbury
Schools, attended the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He
married Miss Christine Hudson, and went in the Oil Business with his
father. Miss Sarah, the accomplished daughter of this family, is at
present in the Salisbury High School. 6 Arthur Gregory Peeler's
