Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Dalai Lamas translator and author of the definitive biography of Tsongkhapa here presents the first translation of one of that masters seminal and bestknown works.This work is perhaps the most influential explanation of Candrakirtis seventhcentury classic Entering the Middle Way (Madhyamakavatara).Written as a supplement to Nagarjunas Fundamental Verses on the Middle Way, Candrakirtis text integrates the central insight of Nagarjunas thoughtthe rejection of any metaphysical notion of intrinsic existencewith the wellknown Mahayana framework of the ten levels of the bodhisattva, and it became the most studied presentation of Madhyamaka thought in Tibet.Completed the year before the authors death, Tsongkhapas exposition of Candrakirtis text is recognized by the Tibetan tradition as the final standpoint of Tsongkhapa on many philosophical questions, particularly the clear distinctions it draws between the standpoints of the Madhyamaka and Cittamatra schools.Written in exemplary Tibetan, Tsongkhapas work presents a wonderful marriage of rigorous Madhyamaka philosophical analysis with a detailed and subtle account of the progressively advancing mental states and spiritual maturity realized by sincere Madhyamaka practitioners.The work remains the principal textbook for the study of Indian Madhyamaka philosophy in many Tibetan monastic colleges, and it is a principal source for many Tibetan teachers seeking to convey the intricacies of Madhyamaka philosophy to nonTibetan audiences.Though it is often cited and well known, this is the first full translation of this key work in a Western language.
