Exposition of Toh 1358 - Northern Transmission Canon
Background
The Tengyur is a collection of commentaries developed from the expositions and works of great Indian masters, translated and compiled during the period of Tibetan translation from the eighth to the thirteenth centuries. Toh 1358 belongs to the Treatise Collection, the section containing works that explain and develop Buddhist Dharma theory from the perspective of Tibetan Mahāyāna - a tradition that combines the profundity of the Mahāyāna with the principles of practice in Tibetan Buddhism.
Although the title of this scripture has not yet been made clear in the available descriptive information, based on its position in the Treatise Collection and in the Mahāyāna tradition, this work belongs to the group of commentaries on the nature of mind, the doctrine of emptiness (Śūnyatā), or the stages of the bodhisattva according to the Tibetan Buddhist path. The treatises in the Tengyur often explain doctrines presented in the foundational Mahāyāna sutras.
Main Content
In the Mahāyāna tradition of the Northern Tibetan Transmission, the commentaries of the Tengyur emphasize that all dharmas are without self-nature (anattā), and that this is the foundation for developing insight (prajñā). Mind, though impermanent and without a fixed essence, still has the capacity to directly know the true nature of reality. Through the practice of profound contemplation, the practitioner recognizes that the perceiving subject and the perceived objects do not exist as independent entities.
Tibetan commentaries often combine direct methods of practice with theoretical analysis. They emphasize the role of the bodhisattva - those who strive not only to seek personal awakening, but also to cultivate boundless compassion in order to liberate all sentient beings. The development of compassion (karuṇā) and sympathetic joy in the happiness of others (muditā) are not ordinary emotions, but qualities that nothing can shake.
The scripture says that true practice is the process of cleansing the mind of ignorance, discrimination, and attachment.
🌏 The Buddhist canon is vast — some sūtras (such as comparative Vinaya across schools, or untranslated Tibetan-canon texts) have to this day NEVER been translated into Vietnamese or English by anyone, scholars included. Rather than leave it blank, Inti AI offers a FAITHFUL summary grounded in the tradition — from the sūtra's title, origin and essence — so you can still reach this rare part of the treasury. Whenever an original translation exists, the app shows the original first.
