Zhentong
The View of Absolute Truth
Gain Clarity in this View
The Middle Way is widely accepted to be the pinnacle of the Buddha’s profound philosophical approach and the key to understanding the definitive meaning of a vast number of teachings. However, common misconceptions about how emptiness is the ultimate nature of reality can have a significant impact on the degree of profundity that can subsequently be experienced. If our view is limited, our realisation will also be limited. For this reason, as we strive for ultimate freedom, it is vital to clear away both gross and subtle limitations that prevent us from establishing a view capable of penetrating to the deepest levels of truth. For those who are newer to the concept of Zhentong, Unveiling Your Sacred Truth Book 2 will walk you step by step through the logic. For those who are familair with the idea, the great middleway will help you understand thew arguements that defeat the oppositional views.

By Khentrul Rinpoche
Drawing from a lineage of more than two-thousand years of tried and tested wisdom, he introduces us to the profound path of Kalachakra as practiced within the Jonang Tradition. On the basis of this authentic source of refuge, Rinpoché shows us how to integrate the distinctive philosophy of Zhentong Madhyamaka in order to reveal our sacred truth in accordance with the vast teachings of the Bodhisattva Maitreya.
The Great Middleway: Clarifying the Jonang View of Other-Emptiness
By Khentrul Rinpoche
This widely misunderstood philosophical system emphasises the clear distinction between the emptiness of conventional reality and the infinite manifestation of ultimate reality, known as Buddha-nature. With this direct and fearless analysis, Rinpoché challenges us to transcend narrow modes of thinking and to discover the limitless potential we each carry within.
