: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical SystemsThe Three Bases are known in Tibetan as gzhi gsum.—Accordingly, [while discussing the abbots of Ganden]: Gyaltsab Jé was a famous student of Jé Tsongkhapa. [...] Like the great lord Jé Tsongkhapa, Gyaltsap Jé purely pursued the teaching and study of the Vinaya, the practice of the three bases, and so forth. Taking those as a basis, and with his own inner experience and stainless scripture and reasoning, for thirteen years he gave explanations of, on the Sutra side, the higher and lower Abhidharmas, valid cognition, the perfection of wisdom, Madhyamaka, and so forth. [...]
The Three Bases are:
- fortnightly confession,
- the summer rains retreat, and
- the end-of-retreat ceremony.
