Luminous Heart
Essential Writings of Rangjung Dorje, the Third KarmapaAn extraordinary collection of writings on buddha nature by the Third Karmapa Rangjung Dorje (1284-1339)–now in paperback. The Third Karmapa Rangjung Dorje’s unique and balanced view synthesizes Yog’c’ra Madhyamaka and the classical teachings on buddha nature. His work focuses on the transition from ordinary deluded consciousness to enlightened wisdom, the characteristics of buddhahood, and a buddha’s enlightened activity. Included are commentaries by Jamg’n Kongtrul Lodr’ Tay’ that supplement the view of the Third Karmapa on two fundamental treatises on buddha nature, emphasizing the luminous empty mind of buddha nature as presented by the great Indian masters Maitreya and Asa’ga. For those practicing the sutray’na and the vajray’na in the Kagy’ tradition, what these texts describe can be transformed into living experience. ISBN: 9781559395007, 1559395001
