Exposition of Toh 2464 (Tengyur Treatise Collection)

Context

The scripture Toh 2464 is preserved in the Treatise Collection (Tengyur) of the Northern Tibetan tradition, within the Mahayana branch of the Buddha-Dharma. The Treatise Collection is a compilation of commentaries and treatises by bodhisattvas and Buddhist scholars over the centuries, intended to clarify the profound meaning of the principal scriptures (Kangyur).

In the Northern Tibetan tradition, especially according to the Gelug, Nyingma, and Kagyu schools, the Treatise Collection is regarded as second among the sacred collections, after the Scripture Collection. These treatises originate from great masters such as Vasubandhu, Asaṅga, Nāgārjuna, and Candrakīrti, who transmitted the correct path of cultivation based on the intent of the Buddha.

Although the title of the scripture has not been specified, according to its position in the Tengyur, this scripture is an important treatise that helps Mahayana followers better understand the fundamental principles of the Dharma teachings.

Main Content

Treatises in the Tengyur often focus on key themes: the nature of mind (cittamātra), the bodhisattva path (Bodhisattvayāna), Buddha-nature, and the path of liberation. Toh 2464, situated within this context, may teach how to use the mind to transform suffering, or the nature of reality from the Mahayana perspective.

In the Northern Tibetan tradition, these treatises emphasize that all phenomena (dharma) arise from mind. Mind is not unconscious matter, but a luminous presence (sākṣī), capable of knowing and transforming. Through the practice of clearly understanding this nature, practitioners overcome the domination of desire, anger, and delusion, thereby turning toward the Mahayana aim: awakening not only for themselves, but for the liberation of all sentient beings.

This is a typical Dharma teaching of the Mahayana, where the bodhisattva Bodhi-path is regarded as the noblest path, with boundless compassion (mahākaruṇā) directed toward all beings endowed with mind.

🌏Why is this sūtra summarized by Inti AI?

🌏 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.
