Author: Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thayé Translator: Elizabeth M. Callahan
In Tibetan religious literature, Jamgön Kongtrül's Treasury of Knowledge in ten books stands out as a unique, encyclopedic masterpiece embodying the entire range of Buddhist teachings as it was preserved in Tibet. This volume, Frameworks of Buddhist Philosophy, is his masterful survey of the broad themes and subtle philosophical points found in more than fifteen hundred years of Buddhist philosophical writings. In a clear and systematic manner, he sets out the traditional framework of Buddhism's three vehicles and four philosophical systems, and provides an overview of the key points of each system. His syncretic approach, which emphasizes the strengths of each of the systems and incorporates them into a comprehensive picture of philosophical endeavor, is well-suited for scholar-practitioners who seek awakening through the combination of analytical inquiry and meditation. -
Written by Stephanie Johnston—Nitartha Institute faculty member and designer fascinated by the language of symbols—this book offers a practical introduction to Buddhist visual literacy, showing how symbols in Buddhist art can illuminate the path of enlightenment and awakening. It teaches you how recognizing and working with these symbols becomes a contemplative practice in itself.
Through three main parts, Symbolizing the Awakened Heart guides you from foundational ideas about symbolism to a visual primer for reading Buddhist imagery, and finally to hands‑on exploration with twelve artworks. Along the way, short experiments, questions, and field‑friendly practices invite you to engage directly—at home, in museums, or out in everyday life—so that insight grows from your own experience.
