Book Description

This comprehensive collection presents the spiritual writings of Gser-khri Blo-bzang-bstan-paʼi-nyi-ma, an influential Tibetan Buddhist master who lived from 1689 to 1772. Known by several names including Khri-chen Blo-bzang-bstan-paʼi-nyi-ma and La-mo Blo-bzang-bstan-paʼi-nyi-ma, this revered teacher left behind a rich treasury of wisdom spanning multiple volumes.

Within these pages, readers will discover detailed guidance for tantric practices, sacred texts designed for connecting with spiritual deities, and profound teachings on the Paramita path. The collection offers both practical instruction and devotional material, providing a well-rounded approach to Buddhist spiritual development. The first volume includes a biographical account written by the Seventh Dalai Lama Skal-bzang-rgya-mtsho, offering intimate insights into the master's life and spiritual journey.

Particularly valuable is the fifth volume, which preserves rare documentation of local Tibetan religious customs and practices. These texts, originally created through traditional woodblock and copper-plate printing methods, were carefully gathered from various monasteries including Sku-ʼbum, La-mo-bde-chen, and Bla-brang Bkra-shis-khyil.

For students of Tibetan Buddhism and those drawn to the Gelug tradition, this collection provides authentic teachings from a master whose wisdom shaped spiritual communities across Tibet. The writings offer both scholarly depth and practical guidance for sincere practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of Buddhist philosophy and ritual practice.
