"A translation from Tibetan of an eighteenth-century compilation by one of Tibet's greatest Buddhist masters of practice texts of the Marpa Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. The Treasury of Precious Instructions by Jamgèon Kongtrul Lodrèo Taye, one of Tibet's greatest Buddhist masters, is a shining jewel of Tibetan literature, presenting essential teachings from the entire spectrum of practice lineages that existed in Tibet. In its eighteen volumes, Kongtrul brings together some of the most important texts on key topics of Buddhist thought and practice as well as authoring significant new sections of his own. Volumes in this series may be engaged as practice manuals while also preserving ancient teachings significant to the literature and history of world religions. Volume 7 of the series, Marpa Kagyu, is the first of four volumes on teachings and practices from the Marpa Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The Marpa Kagyu tradition derives from the Indian masters Saraha, Tilopa, Nåaropa, and Maitråipa, and then the Tibetan Marpa Chèokyi Lodrèo (1000?-1081?)"--
