Synopsis:
A comprehensive explanation of the Buddhist vows of ethical conduct according to Tibetan tradition - the vows of individual liberation (pratimoksa), bodhisattva, and tantra. Supplemented by an authoritative commentary by Dudjom Rinpoche, outlining in detail the meaning and scope of the vows.
This is a translation of Ascertaining the Three Vows by Ngari Panchen, for centuries looked upon as the root text for learning the code of ethics according to the Nyingma school. The late head of the Nyingma, Dudjom Rinpoche, gives practical advice on maintaining the vows as supportive tools for meditative practice and daily life.
"This timely book fulfills a crucial need for serious students of Tibetan Buddhism. At last we have a handbook in English that explains the full code of discipline of the pratimoksa, bodhisattva, and tantric trainings, along with an elucidation of their philosophical principles and historical background." Tulku Thondup. |
