Description
Byang chub sems dpa'i ltung ba bshags pa'i ṭīkka mthong ba don ldan ("The Commentary on the Confession of Bodhisattva Downfalls: Meaningful to Behold") is a commentary by Tsechokling Yeshe Gyaltsen (Tshe mchog gling ye shes rgyal mtshan, 1713–1793) on the Vinayaviniścayopāliparipṛcchāsūtra (Toh 68), specifically its confession liturgy invoking the thirty-five buddhas of confession—the passage popularly known as the Sūtra of the Three Heaps or the Bodhisattva's Confession of Downfalls, also cited in Śāntideva's Śikṣāsamuccaya. Yeshe Gyaltsen was a prominent eighteenth-century Geluk scholar who served as tutor to the 8th Dalai Lama, Jampel Gyatso, and founded Trashi Samtenling Monastery in 1756. The text has been the subject of a modern academic study and Japanese translation by Takashi Fujinaka and Keikyo Nakamikado, published as "Confession and Purification of Sins by Thirty-five Buddhas according to Upāli-Paripṛcchā" in Acta Tibetica et Buddhica 4 (2011): 155–198.

1 Classical commentary of
Ascertaining the Vinaya: Upāli's Questions is a sūtra focused on the relationship between and integration of the prātimokṣa vows of monastic discipline and the conduct of a bodhisattva who follows the Mahāyāna tradition. The sūtra’s two main interlocuters, Śāriputra and Upāli, query the Buddha about the relationship between these two levels of commitments, eliciting a teaching on the different orientations held by the followers of different Buddhist vehicles and how their different views affect the application of their vows. Ascertaining the Vinaya is a particularly valuable sūtra for its inclusion of a unique form of the confessional "Three Sections" rite, making it one of the few extant canonical sources to describe it at length.
