Shelfari edited the description of The Treasury of Knowledge, Book 1: Book One: Myriad Worlds (Treasury of Knowledge) Tuesday, November 10 2009.
This first book of The Treasury of Knowledge, which serves as a prelude to Jamgon Kongtrul's survey, describes four major cosmological systems found in the Tibetan tradition --those associated with the Hinayana, Mahayana, Kalachakra and Dzogchen teachings. Each of these cosmologies shows how the world arises from mind, whether through the accumulated results of past actions or from the constant striving of awareness to know itself.
