Item Description
The Library of Tibetan Classics: The Book of Kadam, The Core Collection ~ Translated by Thupten Jinpa
The Kadam school of Tibetan Buddhism emerged in the eleventh century from the teachings of the Indian master AtiÂ?a and his principal Tibetan student, Dromtönpa. Although it no longer exists as an independent school, Kadam’s teachings were incorporated into the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism and are still prized today for their unique practical application of the bodhisattva’s altruistic ideal in everyday life. One of the most cherished teachings stemming from AtiÂ?a and Dromtönpa is the collection of esoteric oral transmissions enshrined in The Book of Kadam. This volume includes the core texts of the Book of Kadam, notably the twenty-three-chapter dialogue between Atia and Dromtönpa that is woven around AtiÂ?a’s Bodhisattva’s Jewel Garland, as well as complementary texts that illuminate the history and practices of the Kadam tradition.
Signed by Thupten Jinpa during his teachings at Maitripa College, May 2015.
