Through twenty-three pieces of advice, Shabkar takes the essentials of Tibetan Buddhist spiritual practice (based on Je Tsongkhapa’s Great Graded Path, or lam rim chen mo) and presents them in the form of questions and answers, alternating verse and prose, to give a deep-rooted and concise set of instructions.RelatedCheck items to add to the cart orAuthor BioSean Price became a monk in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition in 1994 and has since studied at various monastic institutes in India and Nepal; he has resided at Shechen Monastery, Nepal, since 1999.

"Shabkar Tsogruk Rangdrol was an astonishing, highly realized master of Vajrayana Buddhism. He lived the simple life of a hermit, yet his activity and view were extremely vast and all encompassing. I’m sure that anyone who reads The Emanated Scripture of Manjushri will be struck by Shabkar’s simple yet extremely profound contemplations." —Dilgo Khyentse Yangsi Rinpoche
