Toh 1713Untitled
Exposition of the Abhidharma-pitaka Toh 1713 - Northern Tibetan Mahayana Tradition
Background
This work belongs to the Abhidharma-pitaka (Tengyur) of the Northern Tibetan Mahayana tradition, a collection of treatises explaining scripture, composed by bodhisattvas and masters who understood the Dharma clearly. The Tengyur contains approximately 3,600 works, recording the profound Mahayana understanding of the Buddha Dharma across many centuries. Toh 1713 is one of the important treatises that helps scholars and monastics understand the inner aspects of the Buddha Dharma in the Northern Tibetan context.
The Northern Tibetan Mahayana tradition, developed mainly in Tibetan monasteries from the seventh century onward, combines teachings from the Mahayana scriptures with profound philosophical development. The treatises in the Tengyur not only explain theory, but also guide practical cultivation. The scripture Toh 1713 is classified among works that record instructions on practice or Buddhist philosophy, serving the needs of monastics who enter deeply into study.
Main Content
The specific content of this scripture has not yet been fully translated in the available sources of information. However, according to the general context of Tengyur treatises in the Northern Tibetan tradition, Toh 1713 may approach one of the essential themes: either explaining the nature of bodhicitta (the mind of awakening), or discussing tathata (suchness/ultimate truth), or analyzing the stages of practice according to the bodhisattva path.
Tengyur treatises are often structured to guide monastics beyond doubts in practice and to clarify philosophical questions related to sunyata (emptiness), tathagatagarbha (the womb of the Tathagata), or the relationship between the ultimate and phenomena. A work with this ordinal number in the Tengyur often gives particular attention to the connection between doctrine and practice (teaching and realization), while also providing criteria for recognizing progress on the bodhisattva path.
🌏 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.
