Clarifying the Sage’s Intent

FULL TEXT

Descriptionངོ་སྤྲོད།

Clarifying the Sage's Intent (Thub pa’i dgongs pa rab tu gsal ba) is one of the major doctrinal treatises of Sakya Pandita Kunga Gyaltsen (1182-1251). Among all the writings of Sakya Pandita (or Sapan, for short), it formulates most completely the theory and practice of the Mahāyāna. It was meant to gradually lead and inspire the student to practice the bodhisattva’s path, and its perennial importance within the Sakya tradition is underlined by the fact that it is the required text for the first teaching of each new Sakya Trizin after his enthronement. (Adapted from Stages of the Buddha's Teachings: Three Key Texts, 16)No Tibetan description!
