Description
The much anticipated third volume contains a presentation of the two most important topics to be found in The Great Treatise: meditative serenity (samatha) and supramundane insight into the nature of reality (vipasyana). The Great Treatise is one of the brightest jewels in the world's treasury of scared literature. The author, Tsong Khapa (1357 - 1419), completed this masterpiece in 1402 and it soon became one of the most renowned works of spiritual practice and philosophy in the world of Tibetan Buddhism. He took great pains to base his incisive insights on the classical Indian Buddhist literature, illustrating his points with classical citations as well as with sayings of the masters of the earlier Kadampa tradition.
