Description
The Treasury of Precious Instructions by Jamg?n Kongtrul Lodr? Taye, one of Tibet’s greatest Buddhist masters, is a shining jewel of Tibetan literature, presenting essential teachings from the entire spectrum of practice lineages that existed in Tibet. In its eighteen volumes, Kongtrul brings together some of the most important texts on key topics of Buddhist thought and practice as well as authoring significant new sections of his own.
In this volume, Kongtrul presents a diverse corpus of texts from the Zhije (Pacification) tradition that trace especially to the South Indian master Dampa Sangye (d. 1117), whose teachings are also celebrated in the Ch?d (Severance) tradition. It includes source scriptures by Dampa Sangye, empowerments by Lochen Dharmashr_, and guidance by Dampa Sangye, Lochen Dharmashr_, and S?nam Pal. Also included are lineage charts related to the transmission of Zhije teachings as well as detailed notes and an orientation to the texts by translator Sarah Harding.
