Exposition of Scripture Toh 4213 — Tengyur (Tibetan Treatise Collection)
Context
This scripture appears in the Tengyur—the Treatise Collection of the Northern Tibetan Mahayana tradition, a complete scriptural treasury compiled and preserved by Tibetan saints and sages. The Tengyur comprises treatises, annotations, and commentaries by erudite bodhisattvas on the principal sutras, intended to illuminate the profound and hidden meanings of the original Buddha Dharma.
Although the title of the scripture has not been fully translated, according to the context of the Treatise Collection, this work belongs to the body of explanatory Buddhist literature by Indian authors, translated into Tibetan by skilled Buddhist scholars and translators. The Northern Tibetan Mahayana tradition values these commentaries because they have been transmitted directly from saints who heard the Dharma from the Buddha or from the lineage holders of the principal schools.
Toh 4213 forms part of the philosophical and practical foundations of Tibet, where the Dharma has been preserved with the highest integrity from the Buddha’s lifetime to the present day.
Main Content
The specific content of this scripture has not been fully translated. Nevertheless, by the nature of the Tengyur, it may teach: (1) the theory of the tathagatagarbha—the Buddha-nature already present within sentient beings; (2) the doctrine of the Two Accumulations: wisdom and merit; or (3) teachings on the Four Noble Truths, the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination, or the corresponding teachings on emptiness (Śūnyatā).
In the Northern Tibetan Mahayana tradition, treatises often emphasize:
— The Buddha-nature of all sentient beings: Every living being possesses latent Buddha-nature and has the capacity to become a Buddha.
— The bodhisattva path: Practice directed toward awakening not only for oneself but for all suffering beings.
— Non-oppositional emptiness: It is not absolute nonexistence but the absence of an isolated, independently existing intrinsic nature.
🌏 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.
