Overview

Khenpo Shenga[[[1]]] says:

    "The treatises are:

        The Ornament of Clear Realization, which explains the intent of the sutras teaching profound emptiness;
        The Ornament of Sutras and the two ‘Distinguishing’s, which explain the intent of the sutras teaching the aspect of extensive conduct; and
        The Sublime Continuum, which explains the intent of the sutras teaching the inconceivable nature of reality (dharmata).

    Moreover, these texts were given for the sake of guiding three types of individual:

        The three intermediate treatises of Maitreya were composed for those to be trained through the teachings of the mahayana Mind Only system of philosophy;
        The Ornament of Clear Realization was composed for those to be trained through the teachings of the mahayana Svatantrika system; and
        The Sublime Continuum was composed for those to be trained through the teachings on the mahayana Prasangika system."
