Exposition of Toh 2765 - Tengyur Treatise Collection
Context
This scripture belongs to the Tengyur, the collection of treatises of the Northern Transmission canon (Madhyamaka and Yogacara), which preserves the commentaries and treatises of the great bodhisattva scholars. Toh 2765 is one of the important treatises intended to clarify the fundamental teachings of the Mahayana Buddha Dharma. In the Northern Mahayana Tibetan tradition, these treatises are not only scholarly commentaries but also tools for practice, helping practitioners overcome delusion and develop insight.
The context of the work's composition is related to the need to explain points that students found difficult in Mahayana practice. Learned masters of the Buddha Dharma composed such works to clarify abstract concepts, especially the nature of bodhicitta, the understanding of emptiness, and the bodhisattva's path of practice.
Main Content
Although the original title has not been fully transmitted, based on its position in the Tengyur, this scripture very likely focuses on one of the core themes of the Mahayana: the interrelationship between mind, Buddha Dharma, and phenomena (dharma).
In the Northern Transmission canon, especially in the Madhyamaka (Middle Way) and Yogacara (Mind-Only) schools, treatises often analyze the manner in which dharmas arise through causes and conditions (pratityasamutpada). Toh 2765 may explain that all dharmas have no independently established nature; they exist only within a network of interrelations. Practitioners need to realize this deeply, not through doctrinal logic alone but through direct observation of the mind (citta).
This treatise may also emphasize that arousing bodhicitta is not a matter of creating something new, but the act of realizing the actual nature of mind. The bodhisattva vows to liberate sentient beings not because there is some separate sentient being to be saved, but because the bodhisattva recognizes that all beings possess Buddha-nature and are of one reality in the realization of emptiness.
🌏 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.
