Volume 8 of the Treasury of Precious Instructions, titled Marpa Kagyu, Part Two, is a translation from Tibetan of practice texts of the Marpa Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.
The Treasury of Precious Instructions series by Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Taye, one of Tibet’s greatest Buddhist masters, presents essential teachings from the entire spectrum of practice lineages that existed in Tibet. In its eighteen volumes, Kongtrul brings together some of the most important texts on key topics of Buddhist thought and practice, as well as authoring significant new sections of his own. Each volume serves as both a practice manual and a preservation of ancient teachings significant to the literature and history of world religions.
Volume 8 of the series, Marpa Kagyu, Part Two, is the second of four volumes on teachings and practices from the Marpa Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The Marpa Kagyu tradition derives from the Indian masters Saraha, Tilopa, Nāropa, and Maitrīpa, and then the Tibetan Marpa Chökyi Lodrö. This volume continues the extensive Rechung Aural Transmission, from volume 7, and presents the intermediate Ngamdzong Aural Transmission, the abbreviated Dakpo Aural Transmission, and other unique traditional practice texts of this lineage.
JAMGÖN KONGTRUL LODRÖ TAYE (1813–1900) was a versatile and prolific scholar and one of the most outstanding writers and teachers of his time in Tibet. He was a pivotal figure in eastern Tibet’s nonsectarian movement and made major contributions to education, politics, and medicine.
ELIZABETH M. CALLAHAN is a Tibetan translator of the Kagyu tradition. She completed two three-year retreats in the Karma Kagyu tradition under the guidance of Kalu Rinpoche, is a student of Khenpo Tsültrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, and has been a Tsadra Foundation Fellow since 2002. Her previous translations include The Treasury of Knowledge: Frameworks of Buddhist Philosophy by Jamgön Kongtrul and The Profound Inner Principles by the Third Karmapa Rangjung Dorje.
