Myriad Worlds

Myriad Worlds. The first book in the English translation of Jamgon Kongtrul's Treasury of Knowledge.

This book serves as a prelude to Kongtrul's survey; it 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.
