The Gateway to Knowledge is a condensation of the Tripitaka (the
traditional term used to describe Buddhist canons of scriptures) and its
accompanying commentaries by the Tibetan Buddhist master Jamgön Mipham
Rinpoche.
Consolidating the intent of the historical Buddha
Shakyamuni's teachings into a unified body of textbooks, Jamgön Mipham
Rinpoche elucidates the philosophical backbone of the living tradition
of Tibetan Buddhism. This rich source book embodies the basics of
Prajnaparamita and Madhyamika as well as the Abhidharma from both
Mahayana ("greater vehicle") and Hinayana ("lesser vehicle")
perspectives.
Every volume in this series includes the Tibetan text and the English translation on facing pages,
permitting side-by-side textual study. Volume 4 elucidates "The Four
Seals of the Dharma" (all conditioned things are impermanent, everything
defiling is suffering, nirvana is peace, and all phenomena are empty
and devoid of self-entity). It also includes the four right
discriminations (meaning, Dharma, definitive words, and ready speech) as
well as the four reasonings that have been taught in the sutras (the
principle of efficacy, the principle of dependence, the principle of
reality, and the principle of valid proof) and the four reliances (do
not rely on the individual, but on the Dharma; do not rely on the words,
but on the meaning; do not rely on the provisional meaning, but on the
definitive meaning; and do not rely on the ordinary mind, but rely on
wisdom). 143 pages. Paperback.
