Exposition of Scripture Toh 2352 — Tengyur Abhidharmapiṭaka
Context
This scripture belongs to the Śāstra-piṭaka of the Tengyur, the collection of treatises explaining the Buddhadharma, composed by bodhisattvas and eminent scholars in the period after Buddha Śākyamuni passed into parinirvana. The Northern Tibetan tradition (Tibetan Buddhism) regards these treatises as a direct transmission from the great Indian masters, especially from renowned earlier masters of Mādhyamika and Yogācāra.
Although the scripture’s title has not yet been fully translated, based on its position in the Tengyur (Toh 2352), this is a treatise belonging to the group of fundamental teachings on the nature of mind, dharmatā, or the path of practice according to the Mahayana perspective. In the Northern Tibetan tradition, these treatises are regarded as the key to deeply understanding the Absolute Scriptures and Relative Scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism.
Main Content
The Tengyur Abhidharmapiṭaka in general guides the student into three main fields: the doctrine of emptiness (Śūnyatā), the teaching of Mind-Only (Cittamātra), and the method of stage-based practice. These treatises are not profound scriptures that are difficult to understand, but practical instructions through which scholars may grasp the true intent of the Buddhadharma.
Specifically, the scriptural treatises in the Toh 2352 group often focus on clarifying the relationship between phenomena (Saṃvṛti-satya, the Relative Truth) and the nature of reality (Paramārtha-satya, the Absolute Truth). They affirm that all dharmas have no independent essence, that all are without self-nature (Anātman), and that thorough understanding of this point is the foundation for liberation.
This treatise also emphasizes the role of the bodhisattva path, the path of benefiting limitless sentient beings, as the ultimate aim of Mahayana practice. This differs from the Lesser Vehicle, which seeks only individual nirvana, while the Mahayana expands the mind of compassion to liberate all sentient beings.
🌏 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.
