The Treasury of Doha Songs was composed by the great Indian master Saraha. As is widely known, it was Nagarjuna who truly elucidated the essence of the Buddha’s teachings on transcendent wisdom. And Nagarjuna’s root guru was none other than Saraha himself. As the foremost of India’s eighty-four great mahasiddhas, Saraha is undoubtedly one of the most important Buddhist masters. This alone is enough to inspire extraordinary faith in these songs of realization.
