{"product_id":"treasury-of-precious-qualities-book-one-sutra-teachings-revised-edition","title":"Treasury of Precious Qualities: Book One: Sutra Teachings (Revised Edition)","description":"This book is a translation of the first part of Jigme Lingpa’s Treasury of Precious Qualities, which in a slender volume of elegant verses sets out briefly but comprehensively the Buddhist path according to the Nyingma school. The concision of the root text and its use of elaborate poetic language, rich in metaphor, require extensive explanation, amply supplied here by the commentary of Kangyur Rinpoche.\n\nThe present volume lays out the teachings of the sutras in gradual stages according to the traditional three levels, or scopes, of spiritual endeavor. It begins with essential teachings on impermanence, karma, and ethics. Then, from the Hinayana standpoint, it describes the essential Buddhist teachings of the four noble truths and the twelve links of dependent arising. Moving on, finally, to the Mahayana perspective, it expounds fully the teachings on bodhichitta and the path of the six paramitas, and gives an unusually detailed exposition of Buddhist vows.\n\nThe paperback edition includes Jigme Lingpa’s root text in verse, which was not included in the hardcover edition.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1590307119\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1590307119.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kangyur Rinpoche, Longchen Yeshe Dorje|Lingpa, Jigme\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
