CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
This small volume contains two works on the Vinayana, or system of self-discipline, which is considered very important within all the Dharma traditions of Tibet. These texts focus on the Vinayana as it is taught to young novice monks: the first work is Nagajuna's Stanzas for a Novice Monk, presentes with a commentary by the 19th century Nyingma lama, Yamyang Mipam Rinpoche. The second work in this volume is the Essence of the Ocean of Vinaya, composed by the 14th century lama, Je Tsong Khapa, concerning the eight fundamental categories of pratimoksha vows. Although both of these texts were primarily composed for ordained members of the Sangha, they contained wisdom and advice of benefit to all those interested in the Buddhadharma and Tibetan culture.
