Publisher Marketing:
The Gateway to Knowledge is a condensation 
of the Tripitaka and its accompanying commentaries. Consolidating the intent of 
Buddha Shakyamuni's teachings into a unified body of textbooks, it is the philosophical backbone of the living tradition 
of Tibetan Buddhism. This rich source book embodies the basics of Prajnaparamita 
and Madhyamika as well as Abhidharma from both the Mahayana 
and Hinayana perspectives. Every volume in this series includes the Tibetan text and the English translation on facing pages. 
"The Tibetan master, Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche (1846-1912) is an exceptional 
treasure of wisdom, compassion and scholarship. His accomplishments in practice, 
learning, composition and teaching are immense. 
The student of The Gateway to Knowledge can begin to comprehend the meaning 
of the major works on Buddhist philosophy and of the traditional sciences. When 
you want to extract their meaning you need an "expert system," a key. The Gateway to Knowledge is like that key, a magical key - it opens up the treasury of precious gemstones in the expansive collection of Buddhist scriptures. " 
-- Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche
