Critics Review
“In his vast work The Treasury of Precious Instructions , Jamg
“In his vast work The Treasury of Precious Instructions, Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Taye, that most eminent of Tibetan Buddhist masters, collected together all the empowerments, instructions, and practices of the eight great chariots of the practice lineages. Not only that, but he himself received the complete transmissions for all the practices, accomplished them including the retreats, and preserved them in his own mindstream. He then passed on the transmissions to his own students and all who requested them. The Treasury of Precious Instructions exemplifies how Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Taye’s whole life was dedicated to teaching and spreading the Dharma, whether it be sutra or mantra, kama or terma, old or new translation school, free of sectarian bias. Without his supreme efforts, many traditions of Tibetan Buddhism would have been lost.”—from the foreword by His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje“A work that readers can rely on and use in many contexts… . Each text is a world of its own, part of a complex and multifaceted Kagyü tradition. To have them together is an important addition to our knowledge of the Kagyü lineage… . The Treasury of Precious Instructions will certainly change the way we understand the Tibetan tradition as a whole.”—H-Net Reviews
