Description

The second volume in the collection of Teachers of the Eternal Doctrine presents a selection of remarkable Buddhist teachers and promulgators of the Bodhisattva Path. This path, which has been laboriously pursued for over two and a half millennia, is characterized by service to all humanity. This volume focuses on Indian and Tibetan teachers who have played a significant role in shaping the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist tradition. It builds upon the first volume, which explored the Seven-Century Plan initiated by Tsong Kha Pa for the Western world. In this second volume, Tsong Kha Pa is presented as the Buddhist teacher who rejuvenated Buddhism in Tibet, creating the Gelukpa Order. The articles in this volume serve as a general introduction to the vast library of Buddhist history, teaching, and knowledge that has emerged in recent years. Many Tibetan texts have been carefully translated into English by highly trained individuals and teams of translators, making this collection an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the teachings of these remarkable teachers.
