ANALYSIS OF THE ABHISAMAYALAMKARA

by E. Obermiller

The Abhisamayalamkara is the text used in the Tibetan monastic curriculum to teach the path to Buddhahood. The Indian teacher Asanga requested the future Buddha Maitreya to systematize the teachings on the path from the Prajnaparamita Sutras and this work was the result. It is studied in Tibet with commentaries. Obermiller studied it with Tibetan teachers and wrote this commentary.

"This book is a classic in Buddhist scholarship and is still the most thorough analysis of the text available in a Western language (although it is not complete); it is constantly cited by scholars even today; and, last but not least, it has been so difficult to get a complete set (of three volumes, as published) that the Library of Congress only had the whole thing in a microform edition!"--Steve Rhodes, Snow Lion editor
