Exposition of Scripture Toh 2923 — Tengyur, Treatise Collection
Context
Toh 2923 is a work within the Tengyur (scholubatu), that is, the Treatise Collection of the Northern Tibetan transmission of the Buddha Dharma. This is the section of commentaries and expositions on scriptures in Mahayana Buddhism, compiled and preserved in the Tibetan community from the ninth century onward. The Tengyur contains commentaries by distinguished Dharma masters intended to clarify the personal qualities of the Buddha, the doctrine concerning bodhisattvas, and the path of liberation from the Mahayana perspective.
The position of Toh 2923 in the Treatise Collection indicates that it belongs to works explaining key elements of the Buddha Dharma, perhaps commentaries on mind, Buddha-nature, or bodhisattva actions. In the Tibetan tradition, such works are not only textbooks but also instruments of spiritual practice.
Main Content
Although the title has not been fully translated into Vietnamese, this scripture likely focuses on one of the core themes of the Northern Tibetan Mahayana: the theory of mind or the doctrine of universal Buddha-nature. In this tradition, an untitled work is often a commentary or a supplementary section explaining the principal scriptures.
Commentaries such as Toh 2923 often explain that all beings possess Buddha-nature (buddhadhatu) — the innate capacity to become a Buddha. This differs from the Hinayana view in that it affirms that the path of liberation is open to all, not only to those who dwell in mountain solitude to practice. The bodhisattva vows to rescue immeasurable beings; this is the heart of the sacred Mahayana mind.
Works in the Tengyur also often go deeply into methods of practice, especially the understanding of emptiness (sunyata) — the teaching that all phenomena lack an intrinsic self-nature. This is not absolute nonexistence, but liberation from mistaken assumptions about a self.
Practical Meaning
In the context of modern practice, scriptural teachings such as Toh 2923 invite us to reflect again on the aspiration to practice.
🌏 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.
