Following the first volume of the Treasury of Precious Qualities,
which sets out the teachings of the sutras, the present volume
continues Jigme Lingpa’s presentation of the stages of the path and
includes a general description of the tantra teachings followed by an
exposition of the Great Perfection, regarded in the Nyingma school of
Tibetan Buddhism as the summit of all vehicles and the final stage of
the path of spiritual training. This concluding volume provides a
comprehensive overview of the Nyingma path of Tibetan Buddhism and is
presented together with a detailed commentary by Kangyur Rinpoche.
The
section on the tantras is a compendious presentation of all-important
issues: lineage, empowerment, the generation and perfection stages, and
samaya. The section on the Great Perfection is arranged according to
the classification of Ground, Path, and Result, and gives an extremely
clear introduction to the doctrinal background that underpins the
practice of this unique system.
