Description: The encyclopedic ten-volume Treasury of Knowledge is one of the most important reference works in Tibetan Buddhism, translated into English here in an ambitious, multi-year project. The first part of this volume is a survey of classic Indian learning as it was preserved and practiced in Tibet including subjects such as medicine, astrology, and logic and of the philosophy of non-Buddhist schools. The second part is an analysis of Buddhist phenomenology.
