Five Teachings of Maitreya (byams chos sde lnga)
Five teachings that were entrusted to the Indian saint Asanga (thogs med) in Tushita Heaven by the Buddha's regent Maitreya:
- Dharmadharmata Vibhanga - chos dang chos nyid rnam 'byed
- Madhyanta Vibhanga - dbus mtha' rnam 'byed
- Sutralamkara - mdo sde rgyan
- Abhisamayalamkara - mngon rtogs rgyan
- Uttaratantra - rgyud bla ma
Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche explains: "The Ornament of Realization (Abhisamayalamkara) clarifies the Second Turning of the Wheel of Dharma. The next three teachings are general works given to clarify all of Buddha Shakyamuni's teachings. These are called the Ornament of the Sutras (Sutralamkara), Discerning the Middle and the Extremes, and Discerning Dharmas and Dharmata. The fifth work taught by Lord Maitreya truly establishes the Third Turning of the Wheel of Dharma. It is called the Uttaratantra". (EPK) The Light of Wisdom, Vol. 1, pgs. 222 & 223. (RY)
