the Samten migdron by Nubchen Sangye Yeshe, a 10th-century Tibetan Buddhist text on meditation

Summary

A complete translation of the groundbreaking Tibetan treatise on contemplation, the 'Samten Migdron' by Nubchen Sangye Yeshe (10th century). This is one of the principal sources for our understanding of the various currents of meditation transmitted to Tibet during the early spread of Buddhism to that country. It offers a detailed window into the ways in which one of the most learned masters of the early Tibetan Buddhist tradition made sense of the different forms of meditation practiced in his day.--, Provided by publisher
