The Treasury of Knowledge: Books Two, Three, and Four: Buddhism's Journey to Tibet

Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye, "The Treasury of Knowledge: Books Two, Three, and Four: Buddhism's Journey to Tibet"
Publisher: Snow Lion Publications | ISBN: 1559393459 | 2010 | PDF | 696 pages | 4.2 MB

Jamgon Kongtrul’s ten-volume Treasury of Knowledge is a unique encyclopedic masterpiece embodying the entire range of Buddhist teachings as they were preserved in Tibet. Tibetan Buddhist teachers expected their students to study Buddhist philosophical texts as well as practice reflection and meditation; present-day students have also realized that awakening has its source in study as well as in reflection and practice.
Buddhism’s Journey to Tibet presents Kongtrul's masterful history of Buddhism in India and Tibet. Beginning with the appearance of the Buddha in our world (Book Two), it describes the Buddha's life, his enlightenment, and what he taught (Book Three), from a multitude of Buddhist viewpoints. Buddhism's transmission to and preservation in Tibet is the focus of the main part of this volume (Book Four), which describes the scriptural transmissions and lineages of meditation practice as well as the Buddhist arts that together make up the world of Tibetan Buddhism.
