37 Practices of Bodhisattva

by Jeffrey Hopkins (Translator)

It is written by the Bodhisattva Togmey Zangpo who lived about fifty years before ... Rinpoche. Togmey Zangpo was not only a great scholar but also a practitioner. During his lifetime he was considered a true Bodhisattva by all. His life story is very remarkable. His main practice was that of Santideva's Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life. He did this in connection with the Five Great Texts of Maitreya. I myself have seen his commentaries on Maitreya's Ornament For The Great Vehicle and his commentary on The Sublime Science or Sublime Continuum Of The Great Vehicle, Uttaratantra.
