The concision of the root text and its use of elaborate poetic language, rich in metaphor, require extensive explanation, amply supplied here by the commentary of Kangyur Rinpoche. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe present volume lays out the teachings of the sutras in gradual stages according to the traditional three levels, or scopes, of spiritual endeavor. It begins with essential teachings on impermanence, karma, and ethics. Then, from the Hinayana standpoint, it describes the essential Buddhist teachings of the four noble truths and the twelve links of dependent arising. Moving on, finally, to the Mahayana perspective, it expounds fully the teachings on bodhichitta and the path of the six paramitas, and gives an unusually detailed exposition of Buddhist vows. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe paperback edition includes Jigme Lingpa's root text in verse, which was not included in the hardcover edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Longchen Yeshe Dorje Kangyur Rinpoche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590307119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590307113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 6.58w x 1.44d","brand":"Longchen Yeshe Dorje Kangyur Rinpoche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985232396543,"sku":"9781590307113","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f85049c-32ad-48f6-a2ab-f35098041061.jpg?v=1683276343","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/treasury-of-precious-qualities-longchen-yeshe-dorje-9781590307113","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
