The Secrets of the Tath_gata, in Sanskrit, the Tath_gataguhya S_tra, is a quintessential Mah_y_na s_tra on the nature of the body, speech, and mind of bodhisattvas and the Buddha. This annotated translation is the first in any western language.

The core message of the Secrets of the Tath_gata is that bodhisattvas and the Buddha manifest in whatever form is necessary to teach and aid sentient beings. It illustrates its teachings with marvellously memorable narratives. Its primary interlocutor is Vajrap__i, the vajra (thunderbolt mallet) bearer. He incisively answers the queries of __ntamati Bodhisattva and narrates his recollection of crucial moments in the Buddha's life.

The Secrets of the Tath_gata emphasises that the power of the non-dual and ineffable Buddha underlies all the good deeds and realisations of the bodhisattva, and that his wisdom is inherent in all beings. While the Buddha exerts no effort, he freely manifests for beings based upon their needs and the inclinations of their mind. Beings see the Buddha just like looking at themselves in the mirror, and his words of wisdom sound forth like enchanted instruments that automatically play when wafted by the winds of our karmic inclinations.

Shaku Shingan has rendered a readable English translation from the Chinese of the Song Dynasty monk Dharmarak_a, with critical comparisons and translations from the earlier Mah_ratnak__a S_tra translation of the same text. This second edition also incorporates insights from the newly available Sanskrit manuscript. Shingan's introduction provides historical background, explains the s_tra's place in the history of Mah_y_na Buddhism and Buddhist studies, and gives the reader an understandable digest of its key themes and doctrines.

Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I am absolutely in love with these travel Q-tips! They’re a total game-changer for maintaining hygiene while traveling, and I can’t believe I didn’t get them sooner. Why I love them: Compact and portable — The case is small enough to fit in any bag or travel pouch, making it super easy to carry around without taking up too much space. Perfect for quick fixes — Whether I’m cleaning up makeup smudges, touching up my eyeliner, or just freshening up, these little Q-tips are the perfect size for a quick, mess-free fix. High-quality cotton tips — They’re soft and gentle on the skin but sturdy enough to get the job done. No flimsy tips here! Convenient packaging — The individual plastic casing keeps each Q-tip sanitary, and it’s easy to pop one out when you need it. Great value — The pack lasts a long time, and the small case makes them a smart, space-saving addition to my travel essentials. These travel Q-tips are an essential for anyone who wants to stay fresh and prepared while on the go. Whether you’re on a flight, a road trip, or at the gym, they are incredibly practical and always come in handy. Highly recommend!

Great Travel Q-Tips in Sturdy Reusable Container
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
Great travel pack of the best brand on the market Q-Tips and can easily be refilled and used over and over. I thought maybe after 10 plus years it was time to buy another one for our trips, very durable and the Q-Tips brand is the only brand with soft real cotton tips that are thick enough that they don’t hurt your ears. Great price and delivered quickly.

Perfect for Travel and Everyday Use
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
These Q-tips are the same great quality as the regular ones, just in a smaller, travel-friendly pack. The cotton tips are soft and sturdy, and they don’t unravel like cheaper brands. The compact container fits perfectly in my toiletry bag or purse, so it’s super convenient for trips or quick touch-ups on the go. I use them for everything — cleaning small areas, makeup fixes, and first aid. It’s nice knowing they’re 100% cotton and gentle on the skin. Great little pack to keep around for travel or your car!
