Summary

• All religions teach codes of ethical behavior. So too does Buddhism. This book is a translation of an ancient exposition of the three levels of moral codes in Tibetan Buddhism - the vows of individual liberation; the vows of the bodhisattva, who selflessly strives for the enlightenment of all beings; and the vows of tantra, the esoteric path of Mahayana practice.
• For the first time, a comprehensive explanation of these vows is presented with explanatory teachings on how to practice them in everyday life.
