LIFE AND TEACHINGS OF TSONGKHAPA

ed. by Prof. Robert Thurman

Je Tsong Khapa (1357-1419) is revered as one of the most significant Tibetan Buddhist teachers whose eclectic and analytic studies and meditations in all the major schools of Tibetan Buddhism resulted in the founding of the Gelugpa system of the Tibetan Buddhist heritage.

The Life and Teachings of Tsong Khapa brings together for the first time a number of extremely important and useful works by and about Tsong Khapa, touching transcendental aspects of Sutra, Tantra, and Insight Meditation, including mystic conversations with great Bodhisattvas and deeply spiritual songs in praise of Manjushri, Maitreya, etc. The anthology concludes with a number of intensely moving songs by such realised and remarkable Tibetan Buddhist personalities like the Seventh Dalai Lama, Eighth Karmapa, Dulnagpa Palden and Khaydrub Je, in praise of Tsong Khapa and his immeasurable contribution to Tibetan Buddhism.

Ably translated by a number of Western Buddhist transators, in association with Tibetan Buddhist scholars, The Life and Teachings of Tsong Khapa, edited by Professor Robert Thurman, fulfils a long-standing need of the contemporary Dharm community of both the East and the West.
