FULL TEXT

Descriptionངོ་སྤྲོད།

An Epistle Benefitting Students is a well-known composition by Ngorchen Kunga Zangpo. One of the longest Tibetan literary works of its kind, in it he urgently argues from both sūtric and tantric points of view against the consumption and tantric use of alcohol and meat by monastics. Ngorchen compiled the text in 1425 at age forty-three when he was still based at Sakya Monastery.
