| Abstract | "The Guru Yoga of Jé Tsongkhapa is an inspiring and well-loved guru yoga practice that originated from Jé Tsongkhapa himself and was disseminated by the First Dalai Lama. In this book, Chöden Rinpoché, a celebrated scholar who was chosen as a debate partner for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, as well as an accomplished yogi who spent nineteen years in solitary retreat, offers two different commentaries to guide the reader's understanding. Rinpoché's first commentary is based on the tantric oral tradition as presented by the great lama and scholar Pabongkha Dechen Nyingpo in his own inspired commentary on The Hundreds of Deities of Tuṣita, called A Treasury of Precious Jewels, which is presented here in full. Rinpoché adds clarifying instruction to Jé Pabongkha's work, bringing out the deeper meaning of the text and revealing how ordinary practitioners may understand and apply Pabongkha's instruction. The second commentary from Rinpoché is a condensed commentary based on the sūtra tradition. Thus, the reader is treated to two different perspectives of the guru yoga practice of Jé Tsongkhapa. Previously published as Opening the Door of Blessings, this edition has been revised and updated, and is an essential edition to any practitioner's library"-- Provided by publisher. |
