A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, by Shantideva, is one of most revered and studied texts in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Shantideva describes ways to generate and cultivate the compassionate mind of enlightenment (Bodhicitta), and provides inspiration.

The Seven Limb Arya Tara practice provides a gradual process of purification of karma and generation of merit that enables us to prepare our mind and request inspiration at the beginning, to progress along the path, and to complete all the aspects of the path to enlightenment. It can be one’s main daily practice or a preliminary practice.

'The Jewel Ornament of Liberation', by Gampopa, has been described as a masterwork of Tibetan Buddhism, providing the complete foundation for study and practice, from the beginning to Buddhahood.
