Exposition of Toh 4367—The Tibetan Treatise Collection
Context
This scripture belongs to the Tengyur—the Northern Canon, one of the most important repositories of Buddhist texts in the Tibetan Mahayana tradition. The Tengyur is a collection of treatises (śāstra) and commentaries composed by great Buddhist masters to explain and develop the profound meaning of the principal scriptures of the Kangyur.
The Treatise Collection—the Abhidharmakoṣa-bhāṣya and other treatises—is a foundation of Buddhist philosophical thought in this tradition, focusing on analysis of the nature of phenomena, cause and effect, and the workings of consciousness. Although the complete title of Toh 4367 has not been published, its position within the Tengyur places it in the field of discourse concerning the intrinsic nature of phenomena (dharma-svabhāva) or aspects of cultivating the bodhisattva path.
In the Tibetan Mahayana context, these treatises are regarded as teachings of advanced bodhisattvas or intermediary masters, including Maitreya, Asaṅga, Dignāga, Dharmakīrti, and others. They were recorded to guide those who cultivate the bodhisattva path through ultimate reasoning and practice.
Main Content
The specific content of this scripture has not yet been fully translated into modern Vietnamese, but based on its position within the Treatise Collection, it may be identified as part of a system of discourse concerning the characteristics of phenomena (dharma-lakṣaṇa) or the Tibetan school’s methods for cognizing the nature of phenomena.
The Mahayana tradition emphasizes that all phenomena lack intrinsic nature (anātman) and possess no separate, fixed essence. Treatises in the Tengyur frequently analyze in depth how bodhisattvas perceive and realize this characteristic and thereby develop the perfection of wisdom (prajñāpāramitā). This process involves advancing through the stages of practice, from initial faith through the accumulation of merit (puṇya-sambhāra) and wisdom (jñāna-sambhāra), culminating in the fruition of bodhisattva buddhahood.
🌏 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.
