Tree of Wisdom is the commentary of manners or moral maxim having 260 verses. The original text was in Sanskrit; it was translated into Chhoekay (classical language) in the 11 century AD and included in the Tenjur (commentarial canon). It is fortunate that the Chhoekay version has been incorporated in the Tenjur because the original text in Sanskrit is no longer available and it is not known how the text was lost.
This text is a commentary on manners or moral maxims in 260 verses. The original text was in Sanskrit, but has unfortunately been lost. The Tibetan translation is preserved in the [[Tengyur]].
