In its eighteen volumes, Kongtrul brings together some of the most important texts on key topics of Buddhist thought and practice as well as authoring significant new sections of his own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this, the eighteenth volume, Kongtrul expands on \u003ci\u003eThe One Hundred and Eight Guidebooks\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of teaching manuals compiled by the sixteenth-century Tibetan master Kunga Drolchok, adding Indic source texts, Tibetan antecedents, and later interpretations. Though compiled by a Jonangpa abbot and transmitted by the Jonang tradition, these teaching manuals are actually drawn from the Kadam, Sakya, Kagyu, and, to a lesser extent, Nyingma traditions. They are succinct and impart practical wisdom, as transmitted by key figures like Kunga Chogdrub and Lowo Khenchen Sonam Lhundrub. Gyurme Dorje, the translator, provides extensive notes and helpful context throughout. The resulting volume preserves and integrates the diverse lineages of Tibetan Buddhism while providing useful advice to practitioners.JAMGÖN KONGTRUL LODRÖ TAYE (1813-1899), a pivotal figure in eastern Tibet's nonsectarian movement, was one of the most outstanding writers and teachers of his time. GYURME DORJE (1950-2020) held a master's degree in Sanskrit (University of Edinburgh) and a PhD in Tibetan literature (SOAS, University of London). He wrote, edited, translated, and contributed to numerous books on Tibetan culture, among them \u003ci\u003eThe Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Tibetan Book of the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIndo-Tibetan Classical Learning and Buddhist Phenomenology\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Essential Tantras of Mahayoga\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Systems and Lines of Transmission\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Snow Lion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303811895525,"sku":"NP9781559394956","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781559394956.jpg?v=1767730463","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/jonang-the-one-hundred-and-eight-teaching-manuals-isbn-9781559394956","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
