The “bod yig giy bkav bstan vgyur” of Li Tang edition was printed in late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty (1628-1644). Under the sponsorship of Yunnan Lijiang Naxi Nationality chieftain Mu Zeng, the sixth Karmapa Red-hat Sect Living Buddha Chos-kyi-dbang-phyug presided over the printing of "bkav vgyur" which was the first printed "bod yig giy bkav bstan vgyur" in Tibet. Without printing "bstan vgyur", the edition was called the Li Tang edition of "bod yig giy bkav bstan vgyur" because it was stored at Li Tang temple.
