Nagarjuna's Letter to a Friend: With Commentary by Kangyur Rinpoche

The great Indian Buddhist master Nagarjuna wrote his celebrated poem Letter to a Friend as a gift of advice to a South Indian king, and it has since become a monument in the Indian shastra tradition. Despite its short length (only 123 verses), it covers the entire Mahayana path, combining a practical approach to daily conduct with a theoretical exposition of the different stages leading to enlightenment. It has thus been an ideal source for many of Tibet’s greatest scholars seeking a scriptural authority to enhance their own descriptions of the Buddhist path.In addition to a new English translation of the poem, this book includes commentary by the great twentieth-century scholar Kyabje Kangyur Rinpoche.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
