The Precious Treasury of Philosophical Systems discusses the philosophical tenets of the entire spectrum of Buddhist teachings--Hinayana, Mahayana, Vajrayana, and Dzogchen--providing an invaluable perspective on the multifaceted nature of the Buddhist tradition in both India and Tibet. On the basis of his extensive research and nonsectarian viewpoint, Longchenpa analyzes Tibetan Buddhism according to Sarma and Nyingma interpretations, concluding with the innermost teachings of the Dzogchen approach.

This is the fourth volume in our ongoing project to translate Longchenpa’s Seven Treasuries and includes an introduction by the Ven. Tulku Thondup Rinpoche and a foreword by H.E. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche. The translator wishes to thank the Tsadra Foundation (www.tsadra.org) for its generous support during the final stage of the editing of this book. Hardcover

A Soldier's Journey from War to Peace
