A Garland of Views presents both a concise commentary by the eighth-century Indian Buddhist master Padmasambhava on a chapter from the Guhyagarbha Tantra on the different Buddhist and non-Buddhist philosophical views, including the Great Perfection (Dzogchen), and an explicative commentary on Padmasambhava’s text by the nineteenth-century scholar Jamgön Mipham (1846–1912).
Padmasambhava’s text is a core text of the Nyingma tradition because it provides the basis for the system of nine vehicles (three sutra vehicles and six tantra vehicles) that subsequently became the accepted way of classifying the different Buddhist paths in the Nyingma tradition.
Mipham’s commentary is the one most commonly used to explain Padmasambhava’s teaching. Mipham is well known for his prolific, lucid, and original writings on many subjects, including science, medicine, and philosophy, in addition to Tibetan Buddhist practice and theory.

This collection focuses on an influential and inspiring generation of Buddhist teachers: the nineteenth-century ecumenical, or rimé, tradition of eastern Tibet. A Gathering of Brilliant Moons provides lively translations of nineteen pithy and profound works by these great masters, along with essays by their translators which explore the aesthetic qualities of their chosen works, highlight their ecumenical features, and comment on the journey of translation.
Includes works from Jamgon Kongtrul, Dza Patrul Rinpoché, Ju Mipham Rinpoché, Dudjom Lingpa, The Third Dodrupchen, Do Khyentsé, Tokden Sakya Sri, Jikmé Lingpa, Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen, Getsé Mahapandita, Shangton Tenpa Gyatso, and Bamda Thupten Gelek Gyatso.
This book arose from a unique conference on Tibetan translation, where the fourteen translators shared their process with each other and received feedback from their peers with a special focus on the literary aspects of the source texts. As a reflection of this genesis, the accompanying essays in this volume by the translators explore the aesthetic qualities of their chosen works, highlight ecumenical features in them, and comment on the journey of translation. This unique book will be welcomed by religious scholars, Buddhist practitioners, and meditators. (Source: [https://wisdomexperience.org/product/gathering-brilliant-moons/ Wisdom Experience])
On the topic of buddha-nature, see especially Tina Draszczyk's translation of Jamgön Kongtrul's ''Immaculate Vajra Moonrays: An Instruction for the View of Shentong, the Great Madhyamaka'' in chapter 12, Putting Buddha Nature into Practice. +
Dharma teaching by Khenpo Sodargye on Gyalse Tokme Zangpo's ''The Commentary on a Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life – The Ocean of Good Explanation'' (''Byang chub sems dpa'i spyod pa la 'jug pa'i 'grel pa legs par bshad pa'i rgya mtsho''). +
This guide provides readers with essential background information for studying and practicing with Patrul Rinpoche's Words of My Perfect Teacher—the text that has, for more than a century, served as the reliable sourcebook to the spiritual practices common to all the major schools of Tibetan Buddhism. By offering chapter-by-chapter commentary on this renowned work, Khenpo Pelzang provides a fresh perspective on the role of the teacher; the stages of the path; the view of the Three Jewels; Madhyamika, the basis of transcendent wisdom; and much more.

About the Text:</br>
The great sage and scholar, Ven. Shantideva composed ''A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life'' in the early eighth century. The text aims at guiding practitioners on the Bodhisattva's path detailing the altruistic intention and conduct, with the view that guides it. It continues to remain one of the most profound pieces of spiritual work that combines intention, wisdom and daily practice. His Holiness the Dalai Lama frequently quotes Shantideva in his teachings as he makes the aspiration: "As long as space remains, as long as sentient beings remain, Until then, may I too remain, To dispel the miseries of the world."
This teaching will focus on the first chapter of the text, and is offered with Shantideva's words of prayer:<br>
May the supreme bodhicitta,<br>
That has not arisen, arise and grow,<br>
And may that which has arisen not diminish,<br>
But increase forever more. +
