Abhisamayalamkara [Vol 1]

Volume 1: First Abhisamaya. An important translation of the Light of the Ornament for the Clear Realizations by Haribhadra. This is the first of four volumes, and contains Arya Vimuktisena's vritti as well. This work is, firstly a commentary on the Prajnaparamita in 8,000 Lines, Perfection of Wisdom Sutras, and secondly, a commentary on Maitreya's Ornament for the Clear Realizations - utilizing the Ornament to explain the sutra.

The Ornament teaches the path to Buddhahood, bringing out and systematizing what is found buried in the voluminous Prajnaparamita sutras. It became the most widely studied book in Tibet. There Haribhadra was regarded as the most authoritative Indian commentator on these topics, and virtually all of the many famous Tibetan teachers who wrote their own commentaries on them looked to him as their primary source.Volume 1 of 4.
