Description

The Elucidation of the Intention Sutra, or the Sutra Unravelling the Thought (of the Buddha). An extraordinary teaching given by the Buddha in response to questions of advanced Bodhisattvas, this Sutra is now available in English. Ten chapters illuminate the basis-consciousness, the ultimate, the doctrine of cognition-only, the threefold character of phenomena (the imputational, other-dependent, and thoroughly established), the teachings of definitive meaning, the development of shamatha and vipashyana, the ten stages of the Bodhisattva Path and the six perfections, and the union of wisdom and compassion at the Buddha level. A masterpiece of the Mahayana and a central text of the Yogachara. With Tibetan text on facing pages, extensive notes and glossary.
