Exposition of Scripture Toh 3695 — The Tengyur, the Collection of Treatises
Context
Scripture Toh 3695 in the Tengyur (the Tibetan Buddhist Canon) is an exegetical work belonging to the Mahayana tradition, compiled and preserved within the Tibetan Buddhist canon. The Tengyur is a collection of treatises, teachings, and commentaries by Buddhist scholars and noble ones from the seventh to the thirteenth centuries, translated from Sanskrit into Tibetan.
Within the context of Tibetan Buddhism, these treatises play a central role in transmitting and safeguarding the essential principles of the Mahayana Dharma. They are not merely theoretical commentaries but also practical guides for practitioners committed to the bodhisattva path. Scripture Toh 3695 is counted among the works important for understanding the core Mahayana teachings within this tradition.
Main Content
Although the title of the scripture has not yet been fully translated, based on its placement within the Tengyur collection of treatises, this work belongs to the category of commentaries on essential aspects of Mahayana practice. Treatises in the Tengyur generally focus on three principal areas: Abhidharma (the Collection of Treatises), Sūtra (Discourses), and Vinaya (Discipline).
This work may address questions concerning the nature of mind, the nature of buddhahood, or aspects of the bodhisattva path. In the Tibetan Mahayana tradition, such treatises often explore the relationship between mind and reality, between relative and ultimate reality, and between the Buddha’s skillful means of teaching (upāya) and the liberation of all sentient beings as the goal.
A prominent feature of this tradition is the integration of incisive analytical wisdom with faith in the ultimate nature of buddhahood. This treatise may guide practitioners to understand that every sentient being has the capacity to attain buddhahood and that the path of practice is not a distant journey, but an awakening through which one discovers what has always been inherently present.
Practical Significance
For modern practitioners,
🌏 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.
