| This is a detailed
line by line commentary by Khenpo Tsultrim on
the seventh chapter of the third section of
Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye’s Treasury
of Knowledge which covers seven points on gaining
certainty of the correct view. It is explained
from the perspective of the different Buddhist
schools. Included are Jamgon Kongtrul’s
root verses of the text and his commentary along
with several songs by Khenpo Tsultrim and Milarepa
on the views and approaches of the different
Buddhist schools.
“How is it that you liberate yourself
from suffering? First of all, you understand
that the conditions that create suffering
are not truly existent, for example, like
appearances within a dream. You then come
to understand that suffering itself has no
essence, that it is not truly existent. Through
deeply thinking about this and through analysing,
you develop certainty. The point of working
with the view or with philosophies is to develop
a clear conviction through reflection that
leads to certainty. If you then meditate on
emptiness, you will realize emptiness directly
and at that point suffering vanishes.”
