The Essence of Nectar

The "Essence of Nectar" by Yeshe Tsondru, an incarnate Lama of the Gelug tradition, is a poetic supplement to the "Great Exposition of the Graded Path," written by the founder of the Gelug tradition, Je Tsong-ka-pa (1357-1419). In this work, Yeshe Tsondru eloquently synthesizes all the cogent points of the progressive meditations leading to the awakening of a Buddha: the complete eradication of suffering and the attainment of all wholesome spiritual qualities. In the process he draws examples from various facets of life in order that one may enrich one's meditations on the "Graded Path" and easily apply the practices to one's thought and conduct. A comprehensive glossary and notes provide valuable information on the technical terms used and also reveal hidden points of the text, thereby making this synopsis of the complete path to Buddhahood open to many.
