This volume is Book Five of that work and is considered by many scholars to be its heart. Jamgon Kongtrul 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. "This eminently accessible book is recommended to comparative ethicists as well as to a general audience. ~Religious Studies Review ."A clearly structured and lucid exposition of the qualities of spiritual teachers and their students, as well as of the ethical systems of Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana Buddhism." ~Choice. "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." ~from the introduction by His Holiness Sakya Trizin. JAMGON KONGTRUL LODRO TAYE (1813~1899), a pivotal figure in eastern Tibet's nonsectarian movement, was one of the most outstanding writers and teachers of his time. In his monumental Treasury of Knowledge he presents a complete account of the major lines of thought and practice that comprise Tibetan Buddhism. "Jamgiin Kongtrul Lodro Taye was one of the leading scholars of the nineteenth century. He broke through sectarian constraints and achieved a deep understanding of the the different philosophical approaches in Tibet. I have no doubt that by studying Kongtrul's works readers will be inspired to emulate his great qualities of humility, dedication, patience and nonsectarianism." ~ H.H. the Dalai Lama., Books<
