Read the text In Praise of Dependent Origination

Tushita Meditation Centre described the text In Praise of Dependent Origination on www.tushita.info, "Je Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), the author of The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment and the teacher of the First Dalai Lama, is renowned as one of the greatest scholar-saints that Tibet has ever produced. 

"He composed his poetic In Praise of Dependent Origination the very morning that he abandoned all doubts about – the final view and attained a clear realization of emptiness, the essence of wisdom. Deeply moved by this experience, his gratitude to Shakyamuni Buddha increased exponentially inspiring him to compose a praise to Buddha for having taught dependent origination, the main reasoning which establishes that all phenomena are empty of inherent existence."
