BOKKTR020 - The Uttaratantra, a Treatise on Buddha-Essence, a Commentary on The Uttaratantra Shastra of Maitreya
by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche
translated by Ken & Katia Holmes

"The clarity, simplicity and profoundness of Rinpoche's teaching will bring benefit to many people who are learning and practicing the sacred teaching of Lord Buddha."
--- H.E. The 12th Tai Situpa "The Uttaratantra, elucidates the Third Turning of the Buddha's teachings on Buddha-essence - the inherent qualities and potential for Buddhahood present in all beings. The elucidation of this potential, emptiness and luminosity inseparable, is the bridge between the Sutra and Tantric paths, the view of Vajrayana and the ground of Mahamudra, thus it is an essential text for all practitioners of the Buddhadharma.

In addition to the theoretical transmission is the meditative approach to this text, the lineage of which has continued through the Kagyu tradition, received first the the Third Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje and continuing unbroken to the present day. THis is what is transmitted here through the great wisdom and compassion of Khabje Khenchen Thrangu rinpoche, the supreme abbot, scholar and highly realized master of the Kagyu lineage."
--- Venerable Lama Karma Shedrup
