Description

Contents

In his work Engaging by Stages in the Teachings of the Buddha, the great Tibetan master Phagmodrupa (1110-1170) sets out the Buddhist path with the utmost clarity. For the first time, this seminal treatise is now available in English. Phagmodrupa illustrates the sequential stages of entering the Buddhist path: placing trust in the spiritual tutor, taking refuge, meditating on love and compassion, and attaining the three bodies of the Buddha. He recounts the knowledge of spiritual teachers such as Santideva, cites historical references, and employs logical analysis. With great insight, he describes the behavior of worldly people and how one needs to change in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment. For all these reasons, this work is particularly relevant to the modern reader.

A biography of Phagmodrupa, also contained herein, provides insight into the life and work of this important master.
