About this listen

Discover the profound insights of the She-rab Dong-bu, or Tree of Wisdom, a metrical translation in Tibetan of the ancient Sanskrit ethical treatise, Prajnya Danda, authored by the esteemed philosopher Nagarjuna during the fourth century of the Buddhist era (circa 100 B.C.). Although the Tibetan rendition likely emerged around the 11th century, its exact origins remain uncertain. This significant work is part of the Ten-gyur, ངོ་ section, volume གོ་, starting on leaf 165. While the Tibetan translator refers to it as the second volume, it remains unclear if the rest of the original text has survived, as the Sanskrit version is believed to be lost. - W.L. Campbell
