Commentary of Ratnagotravibhāga Mahāyānottaratantraśāstra

SOURCE TEXT

One of only two extant Sanskrit texts that comment on the Uttaratantra, this highly original work by Sajjana presents a contemplative approach to Maitreya's treatise from an author that was the veritable source for the Tibetan exegetical traditions spawned by his students Ngok Loden Sherab and Tsen Khawoche.

Relevance to Buddha-nature

This is the essential source text for all lineages of Uttaratantra commentary in Tibet.
