Among the ten books that make up this tour de force, Book Six is by far the longest--concisely summarizing the theoretical fields of knowledge to be studied prior to the cultivation of reflection and discriminative awareness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first two parts of Book Six, contained in this volume, respectively concern Indo-Tibetan classical learning and Buddhist phenomenology. The former analyzes the traditional subjects of phonology and Sanskrit grammar, logic, fine art, and medicine, along with astrology, poetics, prosody, synonymics, and dramaturgy. The principal non-Buddhist philosophical systems of ancient India are then summarized and contrasted with the hierarchical meditative concentrations and formless absorptions through which the \"summit of cyclic existence\" can genuinely be attained. Part Two examines the phenomenological structures of Abhidharma--the shared inheritance of all Buddhist traditions--from three distinct perspectives, corresponding to the three successive turnings of the doctrinal wheel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1559393890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781559393898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Snow Lion Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.38h x 6.38w x 2.19d","brand":"Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071642857727,"sku":"9781559393898","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ae7c344-5af6-40c0-8515-70cf3bae8735.jpg?v=1685437311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-treasury-of-knowledge-book-jamgon-kongtrul-lodro-taye-9781559393898","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
