A milestone... Students of Buddhist tantra will now be thankful that the American Institute of Buddhist Studies has made this masterpiece available as part of its Treasury of the Buddhist Sciences series and the Jey Yabsey Sungbum Collection. Buddhadharma Summer 2011

The Extremely Brilliant Lamp (Shin tu gsal ba'I sgorn me) is Tsong Khapa's most important commentary on the perfection stage practices of the Esoteric Community, the Tantra he considered fundamental for the practice of the "Father Tantra" class of Unexcelled Yoga Tantras. It draws heavily on Nagarjuna's Five Stages and Aryadeva's Lamp that Intergrates the Practices, as well as a vast range of perfection stage works included in the Tibetan Kangyur and Tengyur collections. It is an important work for both scholars and practitioners. Published by American Institute of Buddhist Studies (AIBS)
