Do different Tibetan Buddhist traditions share an essential, common view? Khenchen Thrangu's practice-oriented explanations of the three songs of the view, translated here, will help to answer that question. The story begins when the great Geluk scholar Changkya Rolpay Dorje wrote a song in the eighteenth century describing the view of the middle way. Later, the nonsectarian polymath Ju Mipham (1846-1911) and the influential Kagyu master Ch?gyam Trungpa (1959-1987) wrote songs modeled upon his song that describe the views of dzogchen and mahamudra, respectively. Khenchen Thrangu explains that studying the profound view helps to develop the certainty that is necessary to bring meditation practice to fruition. Moreover, read together, these songs reveal how the middle way, dzogchen, and. mahamudra are harmonious. Book jacket.
