Satsang is Enlightenment - Tomorrow Night

There is a book review that concerns the second volume of The Great Treatise On The Stages Of The Path To Enlightenment continues the three-volume classic treatise of Tibetan Buddhism, first completed in 1402 – if you can imagine reading a book that is only 1402 years old. The author is Tsong-kha-pa (1357-1419), who was careful to base his insights upon Indian Buddhist literature, using citations as well as sayings from the masters to clarify his points of enlightenment and other opinions of the day.

It was considered a Great Treatise On The Stages Of The Path To Enlightenment in his day and is especially true for any student or follower of Buddhist teachings searching for means to put the wisdom and generosity of a divine being to practical application for comparison with Yudhishtara’s writings found on his website at www.yudhishtara.com.

For example, tenets of how to give unselfishly and for universal benefit are discussed at length in the book, but one such tenet cautions against storing unneeded goods rather than freely giving them, as the guilt to disburse the goods will eventually cause one to impulsively give to those who may not be in need, rather than see that the goods are given to those who need them most. One really has to look at the belief systems of the writer and reader to know if one is going to change one’s life based on the writings of a Tibetan Master who died over 500 years ago.

Satsang is tomorrow night at the Bhodi Tree.
