Commentaries byDudjom, Rinpoche, Dorje, Gyurme
SynopsisAll religions teach codes of ethical behavior. So too does Buddhism. This books is a translation of an indispensable exposition of the three sets of vows that are central to Tibetan Buddhist codes of discipline--the pratimoksa vows of individual liberation; the vows of the bodhisattva, who selflessly strives for the liberation of all beings; the vows of the esoteric path of tantra. Here, the late Dudjom Rinpoche provides his authoritative commentary on the role of ethics and morality in Buddhist practice, outlining in detail the meaning and scope of the vows, and giving practical advice on maintaining the vows as supportive tools in the journey toward enlightenment., Perfect Conduct is a translation of an ancient exposition of the three levels of moral codes in Tibetan Buddhism: the vows of individual liberation; the vows of the bodhisattva, who selflessly strives for the enlightenment of all beings; and the vows of tantra, the esoteric practice of Mahayana practice. Here, for the first time, a comprehensive explanation of these vows is presented with teachings on how to practice them in everyday life. From the author of The Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism and supreme head of the Nyingma tradition until his death in 1987.
