Description

One of Gampopa's (b. 1079–d. 1153) most enduring works. It was one of the first "stages of the path" (lam rim) texts to be written by a Tibetan after the genre was introduced by Atiśa through his famous composition Bodhipathapradīpa, The Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment. Sometimes called the Dakpo Targyen (དྭགས་པོ་ཐར་རྒྱན།), Tharpa Rinpoche Gyen (ཐར་པ་རིན་པོ་ཆེའི་རྒྱན།) or simply Targyen (ཐར་རྒྱན། ) for short, it is one of the core Lamrim treatises of the Kagyu school by one of the early founders of the Kagyu tradition. The text presents a graduated path to enlightenment, synthesizing the Kadam teachings of Atiśa and the Mahāmudrā teachings of Milarepa and Marpa.

Stages of the Buddha’s Teachings-front.jpg
Books2015About this item
The "Stages of the Teachings," or tenrim, genre of Tibetan spiritual writing expounds the Mahayana Buddhist teachings as a systematic progression, from the practices required at the start of the bodhisattva's career to the final perfect awakening of buddhahood. The texts in the present volume each exerted seminal influence in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The first text, The Blue Compendium, presents the instructions of the Kadam teacher Potowa (1027/31-1105) as recorded by his student Dölpa (1059-1131). This verse work is followed by Gampopa's (1079-1153) revered Ornament of Precious Liberation, which, with its extensive quotations from the Indian scriptures, remains the most authoritative text on the path to enlightenment within the Kagyü school. The final selection is Clarifying the Sage's Intent, a masterwork by the preeminent sage of the Sakya tradition, Sakya Pandita (1182-1251).

The Jewel Ornament of Liberation (Guenther)-front.jpg
Books1986About this item
In this skillful translation, Herbert Guenther offers English-speaking readers sGam.po.pa's comprehensive and authoritative exposition of the stages of the Buddhist path. A masterly survey of Tibetan Buddhism, The Jewel Ornament of Liberation explains how an enlightened attitude is strengthened by practicing the six perfections (generosity, discipline, patience, exertion, meditation, and knowledge) and offers a concise presentation of Buddhism as a living experience.

As Chögyam Trungpa writes in his foreword: "It is in the flow of karma that this book materialized in 1959 on the very eve of the destruction of the spiritual land of Tibet. Professor Guenther was instrumental in making available the only commentary and guide in English to the bodhisattva tradition of Tibet, Japan, and China. The book remains the classic text of all Buddhists."

sGam.po.pa, who lived in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, was the organizer of the Kagyü order of Tibetan Buddhism.

Herbert V. Guenther is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Far Eastern Studies at the University of Saskatchewan.
