Description
The Kenting Tai Situpa incarnations are renowned Buddhist masters and holders of the Golden Rosary Kagyu lineage. This is Volume 1, containing teachings on the Rinchen Terzod, which contains all the termas. One of the greatest contributors to Buddhism was Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, who in the time of the 9th Situpa, along with Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa, were the heart of a Buddhist renaissance that revived the dying lineages of Buddhism. Jamgon Kongtrul gathered together all these lineage transmissions and teachings into what is known as The Five Treasures of Jamgon Kongtrul: 1. The Treasury of Hidden Treasure Teachings (Rinchen Terzod), a collection of all the termas; 2. The Treasury of Kagyu Mantra Teachings (Kagyu Ngakzod), a collection of all the tantras, practices and empowerments of the Kagyu lineage; 3. The Treasury of Spiritual Instructions (Dam Ngakzod), a collection of all the essential teachings, practices, tantras and sacred instructions of the eight lineages of Vajrayana Buddhism; 4. The Treasury of Vast Teachings (Gyachen Kardzo), the collected writings of Jamgon Kongtrul; 5. The Treasury of All-Encompassing Knowledge (Sheja Kunkhyap Dzo), a collection of his writings on the ten traditional fields of knowledge.
