Songs of realization composed by great Buddhist teachers of India and Tibet are a tremendous source of inspiration for all Buddhists and all who practice meditation. Treasury of Eloquence is a collection of songs and instructions composed by the great treasure-revealer and visionary teacher Barway Dorje (1836-1918), whose biography, Precious Essence, has also been translated and published.

Included in this collection are songs expressing Barway Dorje's devotion to his gurus, songs explaining how to meditate on the mind's nature, and songs of advice on the practice of Buddhism in general.

In all his songs, Barway Dorje appeals equally to our hearts and heads. He touches us with his humility, his devotion, and his concern for others while instructing and advising us with his wisdom and eloquence.
