Description
New translations of teachings on meditative practice from four lesser-known but highly influential Tibetan Buddhist traditions.
Drawing primarily from the Pacification, Severance, Shangpa KagyĂŒ, and Bodongpa traditions, Four Tibetan Lineages presents some of Tibetâs most transformative yet lesser-known teachings on meditative practice. Most works in this volume are drawn from a Tibetan anthology known as the Treasury of Precious Instructions compiled by Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö ThayĂ© (1813â1900). A vast preservation project, this anthology reflects Kongtrulâs attempt to rescue rare teachings from disappearing. By foregrounding the teachings of masters like Khedrup Khyungpo Naljor (d. 1135), Dampa SangyĂ© (d. 1117), Machik Labdrön (1031/55â1126/50), Jonang Taranatha (1575â1634), and Jamyang KhyentsĂ© Wangpo (1820â92), this volume extends Jamgön Kongtrulâs preservation efforts into the modern world.

"This carefully researched and meticulously organized work presents serious students and practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism with a treasury of knowledge, wisdom, and clearly detailed practices. At a time when the continuity of the Tibetan tradition of valid masters and lineage holders is challenged, this publication will serve to both clarify and preserve the lineagesâ gems."
âJetsunma Tenzin Palmo, Founding Director of Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery, author of Reflections on a Mountain Lake: Teachings on Practical Buddhism
"A collection of unique and precious original translations from one the most experienced first-generation Western translators of Tibetan texts. This book is like a delicious box of chocolates to be eaten slowly, and each one savored and appreciated as a special gift."
âLama Tsultrim Allione, Founder of Tara Mandala, author of Wisdom Rising
"The massive collection of scriptures preserved by the nineteenth-century masters Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö ThayĂ© and Jamyang KhyentsĂ© Wangpo can be overwhelming for contemporary readers in their richness. We are fortunate to have access to this carefully selected compilation of interrelated core teachings from four important Tibetan lineagesâPacification, Severance, Shangpa KagyĂŒ, and Bodongâall beautifully rendered with Sarah Hardingâs cogent and elegant translation expertise."

"Four Tibetan Lineages contains gems of practice-oriented instructions from four distinct Buddhist lineages, prominent in Tibet but lesser known internationally, namely, Pacification, Severance, the Shangpa KagyĂŒ, and Bodong tradition. Drawn mainly from Jamgön Kongtrulâs famed Treasury of Precious Instructions, this ecumenical collection of profound teachings is masterfully translated by Sarah Harding."
