In this text, Jetsun Chokyi Gyaltsen presents the tenets followed by the Vaibhasika, Sautrantika, Cittamatra and Madhyamaka Schools of Buddhism. There were sub-schools within these four main schools that held on to slightly different variants of the tenets. The book explores these differences too.
Convinced that this text would be an important aid in the exploration of Buddhist doctrine by serious students of Buddhist philosophy not familiar with the Tibetan language, the Sera Jey Translation Department commissioned a project to translate Jetsun Chokyi Gyaltsen's texbook into English. We feel that it will be a very useful reference book for many students outside the monastery.
