Devoting oneself to a spiritual teacher is a practice much misunderstood in the West, yet fundamental to the tanctric Buddhism of Tibet.

This is the first full study, translated and critically annotated of the Essence of True Eloquence by Tsong Khapa (1357-1419) universally acknowledge as the greatest Tibetan Philosopher. The work is a study of the major schools of Mahayana Buddhism, known as Vijnanavada and Madhyamika and an explanation of the Prasangika interpretation of Madhyamika ( Centrism ). The translation and introduction supplement our view of Buddhism as a contemplative and mystical religion and reveal a rigorous, critical philosophy.

Reason and Enlightenment in the Tibetan Buddhism

The Speech of Gold

Tantra constitutes the fabric of a Tibetan Buddhist's daily practice, but no practice of tantra can be successful without adherence to the tantric precepts, or vows. Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Dalai Lama's tradition, is perhaps the greatest philosopher ever produced by Tibet's Buddhist culture, and remains a figure of immense significance. This book is the first English translation of his explanation of the tantric precepts.

Dzong-ka-ba's (1357-1419) The Essence of Eloquence is the one book on wisdom that the Dalai Lama carries with him wherever he goes. Composed by Tibet's great yogi-scholar and founder of the Ge-luk-ba school, it stands as a landmark in Buddhist philosophy. In this first of a three-volume series, Jeffrey Hopkins focuses on how the conflict between appearance and reality is presented in the Mind-Only, or Yogic Practice, School. The Essence of Eloquence is so rich that for the last six centuries numerous Tibetan and Mongolian scholars have been drawn into a dynamic process of both finding and creating consistency in Dzong-ka-ba's often terse and cryptic tract. Hopkins makes extensive use of these commentaries to annotate the translation. Included are historical and doctrinal introductions and a critical edition of the text, as well as a lengthy synopsis to aid the general reader. Specialists and nonspecialists alike will find this important book indispensable.
