Synopsis:
This book is primarily about Buddha nature, dharmadhatu, the potential in all living beings to awaken to their mind's primordial true nature, thus freeing themselves and others from suffering. The great Buddhist master Nagarjuna's work of praise to Buddha nature, Dharmadhatustava, shows how Buddha nature exists in all beings, is temporarily obscured, and can be revealed in its full bloom. The emphasis is on the actual experience of mind's vivid wakefulness.
The themes of this text are brought to a deeper level by the inclusion of a translation of its earliest, most extensive commentary by the Third Karmapa, Ranjung Dorje. His distinct positions on Buddha nature and the transformation of consciousness into enlightened wisdom also serve as the fundamental view for the entire Vajrayana as understood and practiced in the Kagyu tradition to the present day.
"A wonderful book that bridges the apparent divide between the key Mahayana teachings of emptiness and Buddha nature, using the words of Nagarjuna, and the profound explanations of the Third Karmapa. Nagarjuna's text and Ranjung Dorje's commentary are beautifully translated and annotated by Karl Brunnholzl, who also provides extensive background material on Nagarjuna and his writings; the Third Karmapa and his writings; and the main topics covered in the texts." Andy Karr.
"Brunnholzl's In Praise of Dharmadhatu is an important work. His translations of Nagarjuna's text and Karmapa Ranjung Dorje's commentary are both clear and elegant, and his introduction is masterful. Joining the understandings of both Buddha nature and emptiness, it is a fitting complement to his "Center of the Sunlit Sky." Highly recommended." Scott Wellenbach, Nitartha Institute, Nalanda Translation Committee. |
