About the Book
This volume presents, for the first time, an annotated English translation along with a Tibetan critical edition of Tsong kha pa’s commentary on the different types of Noble Beings (Skt. arya, Tib. phags pa) who progress toward awakening. Tsong kha pa (1357–1419), one of the most revered masters in Tibetan Buddhism, offers a detailed exegesis of the characteristics and attainments that Noble Beings acquire on their path to nirvana across multiple lifetimes and cosmological realms.
Through careful analysis of classical Indian Buddhist texts, including Vasubandhu’s Abhidharmakosa and Asanga’s Abhidharmasamuccaya, Tsong kha pa outlines the qualities, moral virtues, and cognitive insights of Noble Beings, such as the Stream-enterer (srota-apanna, rgyun du zhugs pa). This edition is indispensable for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in Buddhist philosophy, Tibetan religious literature, and the intricate pathways to spiritual awakening.
