The Ornament Of Clear Realization A Commentary On The Prajnaparamita Of The Maitreya Buddha Thrangu Rinpoche by Thrangu Rinpoche, Ken Holmes, Katia Holmes, Dr. Cornelia Weishaar-gunter instant download after payment.

Thrangu Rinpoche gives a commentary on the Ornament of Clear Realization, or Abhisamayalamkara of Maitreya. There are two main ways of approaching the meaning of the Prajnaparamita. The first is a direct exposition of the meaning of emptiness and the second is the indirect exposition revealing the hidden meaning of emptiness by discussing the paths and spiritual levels. By examining these five paths we can begin to understand emptiness by contemplating what takes place on each of these five paths in terms of a gradual increase in wisdom. Implicitly, it is thereby shown how this emptiness can be realized, how the wisdom realizing emptiness is developed and what it is that this wisdom overcomes. This hidden meaning of the Prajnaparamita sutras is what Maitreya is concentrating on when he explains the paths and bodhisattva levels in this text.
"The main reason for Maitreya writing this particular text in the way he did was to clearly present the meaning, the overall content, the main point of the Prajnaparamita. He wrote this shastra so that the Prajnaparamita teachings could easily be understood and second, with this understanding it would help individuals reach Buddhahood." Lama Karma Shedrup.
