Karma Phuntsho: The Life and Works of Kyotön Monlam Tsultrim

Join us as we restart our "Conversations on Buddha-Nature" series! In this video we discuss a special publication about a group of rare manuscripts from a fascinating and influential, yet mostly unknown master of the Kadam Lineage. Gregory Forgues interviews Karma Phuntsho, and other scholars also join in with responses and questions. This special publication was a collaboration between The Loden Foundation of Bhutan and the Tsadra Foundation. The Life and Works of Kyotön Monlam Tsultrim publishes the collected works of the early Kadam master Kyoton in clear uchen type based on the rare manuscripts in the bka gdams gsung 'bum, which are very difficult to decipher in the old Ume scripts. The book contains many short works on buddha-nature, Shantideva's texts, and several other important subjects. It also includes a detailed introduction in English from Karma Phuntsho about the life and works of Kyotön. We discuss the creation of the book as well as its content.
