"I am so happy this precious commentary is now becoming more widely
available. Who else but the peerless Mipham Rinpoche can guide us
so clearly and flawlessly through Maitreyanātha’s
profound Mahāyānasūtrālamkāra?" —Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse
Rinpoche
"The Padmakara Translation Group unceasingly delights my mind with
its wonderful, unfathomable treasures of the Dharma’s classical
texts. This translation of the Mahāyānasūtrālamkāra with
Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche’s commentary is a beacon of light in the
darkness of our unconscious world of ignorance. Lord Maitreya’s
brilliant feat of collecting all the essential points of the
Mahāyāna sūtras into one poetic, resonant text leaves us without
any need to search further for wisdom and inspiration.
This shining text covers all that is necessary to know of the paths
and stages of the bodhisattva’s way of life. When we study this
work, our lives are not doomed in samsāra, for we are shown how the
essence of samsāra is enlightenment itself. I greatly appreciate
the publication of this text and say thank you for the benefit of
Dharma and beings." —Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche
"This remarkable gem, the Mahāyānasūtrālamkāra, contains the
complete teachings and guidance for the entire journey to
awakening, from the beginning all the way to buddhahood itself.
This beautiful commentary by the renowned Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche
will allow a student to place the vast aspiration and profound
meaning of the Mahāyāna at the center of their practice. I trust
that any serious student of the path will find these teachings to
be as inspiring and helpful as I myself have." —Yongey Mingyur
Rinpoche
