The Treasury of Knowledge, Book Five: Buddhist Ethics
Book information
Description
In Tibetan religious literature, Jamgön Kongtrül's Treasury of Knowledge in ten books stands out as a unique, encyclopedic masterpiece embodying the entire range of Buddhist teachings as it was preserved in Tibet. This volume is the fifth book of that work and is considered by many scholars to be its heart. Jamgön Kongtrül explains the complete code of personal liberation as it applies to both monastic and lay persons, the precepts for those aspiring to the life of a bodhisattva, and the exceptional pledges for practitioners on the tantric path of pure perception. "These three vows or systems of ethics are essentially identical to the three forms of training on the Buddhist path: the development of morality, meditation, and wisdom, and embrace all forms of spiritual practice set forth in the Buddhist doctrine."—His Holiness Sakya Trizin
