Part of Nalanda University course SUT450
Chandrakirti's Supplement to Nagarjuna's (kLu-sgrub) 'Treatise on the Middle Way' (Sanskrit: Madhyamakavatarabhasya - Madyamaka Vatara Bhasya)
Part of Tibetan Ayurvedic Medicine Studies - Tibetan Tripitaka Tangyur Toh. 3862, Nyingma Edition NE 3861- Based on commentary by Ven. Monk Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Jampa Tegchok - past Abbot of Nalanda Monastery France and Sera Jey Monastery in India. MP3 Lectures from Nalanda in 1990. Presents an adventure into the heart of Buddhist wisdom through the Madhyamika, or "middle way," teachings, which are designed to take the ordinary intellect to the limit of its powers and then show that there is more. Includes verse translation of Madhyamakavatara by renowned 7th-century Indian master Chandrakirti, followed by an exhaustive logical explanation of its meaning by the modern Tibetan master Jamgön Mipham, composed approximately twelve centuries later. Chandrakirti's work is an intro to Nagarjuna's Madhyamika teachings which are themselves a systematization of the Prajnaparamita, or "Perfection of Wisdom" literature, the sutras on the crucial but elusive concept of emptiness (Shunyata Akasha). Chandrakirti's work has been accepted throughout Tibetan Buddhism as the highest expression of the Buddhist view on the sutra level.
Summary of the Text
An explanation of emptiness as presented by the Prasangika Madhyamaka system of
tenets. The main body of the text consists of ten chapters, each one associated
with one of the ten perfections and one of the ten grounds of a bodhisattva.
Study of this text leads to an understanding of great compassion and how it
serves as a cause for generating the mind of enlightenment (bodhichitta). This
text also sets out the various levels through which one proceeds to the
attainment of the completion of all ten perfections and enlightenment. This
subject is explained on the basis of Chandrakirti's auto-commentary, Lama
Tsongkhapa's Illumination of the Thought, and the First Dalai Lama's Mirror of
the Clarification of the Thought.
