Description
About the author
Contents
Jamgon Kongtrul's Treasury of Knowledge in ten books is a unique encyclopedic masterpiece embodying the entire range of Buddhist teachings as they were preserved in Tibet. The first two parts of Book Six concern Indo-Tibetan Classical Learning and Buddhist Phenomenology. The former analyzes traditional subjects such as Sanskrit grammar, logic, and medicine. The principal non-Buddhist philosophical systems in vogue are then summarized and contrasted with the hierarchical meditative concentrations and formless absorptions through which the "summit of cyclic existence" can genuinely be attained. Part Two examines the phenomenological structures of Abhidharmathe shared inheritance of all Buddhist traditions.
Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye (1813-1900), the author of The Treasury of Knowledge, helped to spearhead an ecumenical revival of the Buddhist teachings in Tibet and worked tirelessly to promote a tolerant and open exchange between the different schools of the Tibetan tradition. In addition to writing The Treasury of Knowledge, he was responsible for compiling several enormous collections of texts from all the Buddhist lineages extant in Tibet. In the wake of the destruction of Tibet in more recent times, these collections have proved invaluable in helping to preserve the lineages of these teachings.
Richard Barron (Chkyi Nyima) has been a student of Buddhism for nearly forty years and has studied with masters in all of the schools of Tibetan Buddhism. He has completed a traditional three-year retreat. Fundamentals of Buddhist Study and Practice is his third book under the auspices of the Tsadra Foundation. He lives in California.
