The Gateway to Knowledge is a condensation of the Tripitaka and its accompanying commentaries. Consolidating the intent of Buddha Shakyamuni's teachings into a unified body of text books, it is the philosophical backbone of the living tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Volume III of this rich source book elucidates Mahayana and emptiness. Every volume in this series includes the Tibetan text and the English translation on facing pages.
The Tibetan master, Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche (1846-1912) is an exceptional treasure of wisdom, compassion and scholarship. His accomplishments in practice, learning, composition and teaching are immense.
The student of the Gateway to Knowledge can begin to comprehend the meaning of the major works on Buddhist philosophy and of the traditional sciences. When you want to extract their meaning you need an "expert system,” a key. The Gateway to Knowledge is like that key, a magical key—it opens up the treasury of precious gemstones in the expansive collection of Buddhist scriptures. - Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche.
