A full translation of an important Mah y na Buddhist treatise with a commentary by the famous Tibetan luminary Jamg???n Mipham. A monumental work and Indian Buddhist classic, the Ornament of the Mah y na S tras ( Mah y nas tr la k ra ) is a precious resource for students wishing to study in-depth the philosophy and path of Mah y na Buddhism. This full translation and commentary outlines the importance of Mah y na, the centrality of bodhicitta or the mind of awakening, the path of becoming a bodhisattva, and how one can save beings from suffering through skillful means. This definitive composition of Mah y na teachings was imparted in the fourth century by Maitreya to the famous adept Asa ga, one of the most prolific writers of Buddhist treatises in history. Asa ga's work, which is among the famous Five Treatises of Maitreya, has been studied, commented upon, and taught by Buddhists throughout Asia ever since it was composed. In the early twentieth century, one of Tibet's greatest scholars and saints, Jamg???n Mipham, wrote A Feast of the Nectar of the Supreme Vehicle , which is a detailed explanation of every verse. This commentary has since been used as the primary blueprint for Tibetan Buddhists to illuminate the depth and brilliance of Maitreya's pith teachings. The Padmakara Translation Group has provided yet another accessible and eloquent translation, ensuring that English-speaking students of Mah y na will be able to study this foundational Buddhist text for generations to come.
