The three principal aspects of the path: an oral teaching

By Sonam Rinchen

Publishing Date: c2010

Classification: 200

Call Number: 294.3 SON

The wish for freedom, the altruistic intention to be of ultimate benefit to others, and the wisdom realizing emptiness constitute the three principal aspects of the path to enlightenment. These three insights form the indispensable support for all the practices of both sutra and tantra. In this teaching, Geshe Sonam Rinchen explains in clear and readily accessible terms Je Tsongkhapa's (1357-1419) short text on these three principal aspects of the path. The engaging exposition of the essential steps to enlightenment will be appreciated both by those with no previous exposure to Buddhism and by those who wish to undertake the practices of tantra, for which at least a sound understanding of these three is essential. - (NBN)

Drawn from the vast and mostly untranslated collection, The Festival of Melodious Songs, they have been organized thematically to reflect Shabkar's quest for spiritual awareness through renouncing the world and meditating in mountain hermitages. - (NBN)
