Exposition of Toh 3720 - Tengyur (Tibetan Treatise Collection)
Context
The scripture Toh 3720 belongs to the Treatise Collection (Tengyur) of the Northern Tibetan Canon, a collection of treatises and commentaries by Indian and Tibetan sages on the Mahayana scriptures. It is an important supplement to the Sutra Collection (Kangyur), providing profound insights into the Dharma methods of the Buddha.
The Tengyur was compiled and completed over the centuries during the height of translation activity in Tibet, with the participation of great translators such as Vimalakirti, Xuân Tư, and outstanding Tibetan scholars. This Treatise Collection includes more than 3,600 works, reflecting the comprehensive development of Mahayana Buddhist thought across many schools.
This scripture is preserved and transmitted within the Tibetan practice tradition, especially in the Gelug, Sakya, Nyingma, and Kagyu schools, serving as a doctrinal foundation for tantric practice and traditional Buddha Dharma.
Main Content
Although the original title of Toh 3720 has not been clearly identified within the presently available information, according to its position in the Tengyur, this work belongs to the group of treatises that explain profound aspects of the Mahayana — possibly related to the teachings on Buddha-nature, the Dharmakāya, or commentaries on Dharma methods of wisdom and compassion.
In the Northern Tibetan tradition, treatises of this kind often construct rigorous arguments based on the logical principles of Yogācāra combined with Madhyamaka thought. They explore the nature of mind, phenomena, and the path of liberation through twenty-four-hour practice.
The scripture emphasizes that all sentient beings possess Buddha-nature, and that liberation is not the attainment of something new and strange, but the recognition of the luminous, selfless nature of mind. These treatises also clarify the connection between the understanding of emptiness (śūnyatā) and immeasurable compassion, between ultimate reality and relative reality.
🌏 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.
