The Nectar of Immortality

FULL TEXT

Descriptionངོ་སྤྲོད།

The Nectar of lmmortality is a fully developed discourse in its own right. It is Shabkar's most powerful and concentrated statement on the subject [of meat-eating] and constitutes what must rank as one of the most impassioned indictments of meat eating to be found in Tibetan literature. This text was recently rediscovered, in manuscript form, by Matthieu Ricard in the course of a visit to Amdo in 2001. It was found in a monastery in the Shophon Valley, not far from Rekong where many yogis and practitioners of Shabkar's lineage still live. (Food of Bodhisattvas, 45)No Tibetan description!
