Description
This is a commentary on Tokme Zangpo's (1295–1369) The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva (Rgyal sras lag len so bdun ma)—one of the most widely studied and recited texts in Tibetan Buddhist mind-training (blo sbyong) literature, and the best-known work among Tokme Zangpo's collected writings. The commentary was written by Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche, who fled Tibet and helped rebuild Benchen Monastery's seat in Nepal, where he remains an active teacher.

1 Modern commentary of
Gyalse Tokme Zangpo's (1295–1369) highly influential work on Mind Training (blo sbyong) that outlines the training of a bodhisattva in a series of thirty-seven verses is still very popular today with Buddhist practitioners around the world. The colophon states: "This was composed at the Jewel Cave of Ngulchu by the monk Tokme [Zangpo], expounder of scripture and reasoning, for the benefit of myself and others." Since he gathered together all the paths of the bodhisattvas and composed them in the form of thirty-seven verses, the title is clearly fitting.
