Synopsis:
The third and final volume contains a presentation of the two most important topics to be found in the Great Treatise - samatha (meditative serenity) and vipassana (supramundane insight into the nature of reality. Tsong Khapa offers a classic exposition of these topics and refutes earlier Tibetan misinterpretations, thereby clarifying each nuance of his own refined view of the path to freedom and peace.
Unrivalled in its scope and clarity, Lama Tsong Khapa`s encyclopedic presentation of the Buddhist path is the mainstay of Tibetan Buddhism. He completed this masterpiece in 1402 and it soon became one of the most renowned works of spiritual practice and philosophy.
"What distinguishes it as one of the principal texts of Mahayana Buddhism is its scope and clarity...the various stages of the path are presented so clearly and systematically that they can be easily understood and are inspiring to put into practice." The Dalai Lama.
"One of the greatest religious or secular works in the library of our human heritage." Professor Robert Thurman.
"One of the world`s great monuments of philosophy and spirituality." Professor D.Seyfort Ruegg.
