Stages of the Buddha's Teachings: Three Key Texts (Library of Tibetan Classics)

Stages of the Buddha's Teachings is an extraordinary and systematized representation of the complete path to enlightenment.

The â€œstages of the teachingsâ€ or tenrim genre of Tibetan spiritual writing expounds the Mahayana teachings as a graded series of topics, from the practices required at the start of the bodhisattvaâ€™s career to the final perfect awakening of buddhahood. The three texts in the present volume all exerted seminal influence in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The first text, The Blue Compendium, presents the instructions of the Kadam teacher Potowa (1031â€“1106) as recorded by his student DÃ¶lpa (1059â€“1131). This text is followed by Gampopaâ€™s (1079â€“1153) revered Ornament of Precious Liberation, which remains the most authoritative text on the path to enlightenment within the KagyÃ¼ school. The final text is Clarifying the Sageâ€™s Intent, a masterwork by the preeiment sage of the Sakya tradition, Sakya Pandita (1182â€“1251).
