Dalai Lama, "The essential teachings, Pearl Editions, Milan 1994
In this book, by 'editing really' summary presents two important contributions of the fourteenth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso .
The first, "The Path of the Bodhisattva " is an instruction given to Bodh Gaya in 1974 during initiation un'oceanica of Kalachakra. The Dalai Lama thirty-seven takes its cue from practices of the Bodhisattva , as is shown in a Tibetan text of XIII-XIV century.
Its commentary is an enlightened synthesis of the Mahayana perspective liberation.
The second part of the book is titled "The Key of Madhyamika " and exposes the way of Nagarjuna, the founder of the school just Madhyamika Buddhism, the one who first worked for the doctrine of Sunyata ( the Void).
For the truth is not an original. In fact, this text, entitled " The key to the middle way, " had already been published by the Ubaldini 1976, in a volume that included" The Buddhism of Tibet .
The overall title of the volume we are presenting, "The teachings essential ", is certainly relevant, since, as pointed out in the clear Corrado Think preface" ... the accent falls and falls, according to that wise insistence typical of the great spirituality, on the central themes of the inner journey, of course, in their formulation Mahayana-Vajrayana Buddhist : renunciation, compassion, emptiness "(p. 7).
