| Abstract | "The Treasury of Precious Instructions by Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö 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. Volumes in this series may be engaged as practice manuals while also preserving ancient teachings significant to the literature and history of world religions. This compendium of Kadam teachings and practice materials represents the scriptural basis for the tradition of the Dalai Lamas, the reincarnation lineage that led Tibet for centuries and now leads in exile. The Kadam tradition is revered by all lineages of Tibetan Buddhism, but is particularly held by the Geluk tradition. The tradition is based on the teachings of the Indian master Atiśa who traveled to Tibet in the early eleventh century. This volume contains five texts attributed to Atiśa, and commentaries on those texts by Tsongkhapa, Tāranātha, and Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, and Jamgon Kongtrul. These teachings cover the genres of Mind Training (Lojong), the stages of the path, and the cultivation of the conduct of a bodhisattva, including taking the bodhisattva vow"-- Provided by publisher. |
