The Treasury of Precious Instructions by Jamg n Kongtrul Lodr

Taye, one of Tibet's greatest Buddhist masters, is a shining jewel of Tibetan literature, presenting essential teachings from the entire spectrum of practice lineages that existed in Tibet. In its eighteen volumes, Kongtrul brings together some of the most important texts on key topics of Buddhist thought and practice as well as authoring significant new sections of his own.

In this, the fourteenth volume, Kongtrul compiles the teachings on Severance, or Ch d. It includes some of the tradition's earliest source scriptures, such as the ""grand poem"" of Āryadeva, and numerous texts by the tradition's renowned founder, Machik Labdr n. Kongtrul also brings together the most significant texts on the rites of initiation, empowerments for practice, and wide-ranging instructions and guides for the support of practitioners. Altogether, this quintessential guide to Severance offers vast resources for scholars and practitioners alike to better understand this unique and remarkable tradition-the way of severing the ego through the profound realization of emptiness and compassion."
