n his work Engaging by Stages in the Teachings of the Buddha, the great Tibetan master Phagmodrupa (1110-1170) sets out the Buddhist path with the utmost clarity. For the first time, this seminal treatise is now available in English. Phagmodrupa illustrates the sequential stages of entering the Buddhist path: placing trust in the spiritual tutor, taking refuge, meditating on love and compassion, and attaining the three bodies of the Buddha. He recounts the knowledge of spiritual teachers such as Shantideva, cites historical references, and employs logical analysis. With great insight, he describes the behavior of worldly people and how one needs to change in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment. For all these reasons, this work is particularly relevant to the modern reader.A biography of Phagmodrupa, also contained herein, provides insight into the life and work of this important master.

Engaging by Stages in the Teachings of the Buddha

Phagmodrupa

With commentary The Lamp Dispelling the Darkness by Rigdzin Chokyi Dragpa. The Gongchig of the Tibetan master Jigten Sumgon conveys clearly the essence of the Buddha's teachings. It delineates the causal law of the universe, Nagarjuna's philosophy of interdependence, and opens one's mind to principles of ethics that help to guard oneself against confusion and deceit. Thus the Gongchig is a guide for every Dharma practioner - for both study and application in daily life. This edition comprises translations of the Gongchig root text by Jigten Sumgon and of the commentary by Rigdzin Chokyi Dragpa, as well as the original Tibetan texts. It makes the work accessible even for readers who are not well versed in Buddhist philosophy.
