Description
Aryadeva's Four Hundred Stanzas on the Middle Way is a foundational text of Mahayana Buddhist philosophy, exploring the nature of reality and the path to enlightenment. Written to explain how the practice of yogic deeds enables those with Mahayana motivation to attain Buddhahood, this text offers a comprehensive understanding of the stages of yogic deeds and the nature of ultimate truth. Gyel-tsap's commentary provides a lively dialogue that uses Aryadeva's words to address hypothetical and actual questions and objections, offering a nuanced understanding of the relationship between conventional and ultimate reality. This commentary is considered one of the most complete and important of the Tibetan commentaries on the text, and is accompanied by additional commentary from Geshe Sonam Rinchen. This republished version of Yogic Deeds of Bodhisattvas offers a unique opportunity to engage with this important Buddhist text, and to explore the nature of reality and the path to enlightenment in a clear and accessible way.
