Overview
The Treasury of Precious Instructions by Jamgƶn Kongtrul Lodrƶ Taye, one of Tibet's greatest Buddhist masters, is a shining jewel of Tibetan literature, presenting essential teachings from the entire spectrum of practice lineages that existed in Tibet. In its eighteen volumes, Kongtrul brings together some of the most important texts on key topics of Buddhist thought and practice as well as authoring significant new sections of his own. Volumes in this series may be engaged as practice manuals while also preserving ancient teachings significant to the literature and history of world religions.Ā
Volume 6 of the series, Sakya: The Path with Its Result, Part Two, presents a selection of teachings and practices from the Eight Ancillary Path Cycles of the Sakya tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The Sakya lineage derives from VirÅ«pa, Dombi Heruka, and other Indian masters, or mahÄsiddhas, and passes through Gayadhara and his Tibetan disciple Drokmi LotsÄwa ÅÄkya Yeshe (992ā1072).Ā Ā
The practice tradition centers around the teaching and transmission of the Hevajra Tantra and its subsidiary texts. This second volume of Sakya texts contains oral instructions transmitted to Drokmi LotsÄwa by the early eleventh-century Indian masters, ÄcÄrya VÄ«ravajra, MahÄsiddha Amoghavajra, Paį¹įøita PrajƱÄgupta of OįøįøiyÄna, and Paį¹įøita Gayadhara. These texts broaden our understanding of how mahÄmudrÄ, the teaching on the nature of mind, is understood and practiced in the Sakya school.
