Critics Review
“Buddhist Philosophy is a valuable publication, as it represents how indigenous Tibetan scholars categorize, correlate, and explain the essential features of Buddhist and non-Buddhist systems.“—The Middle Way, Journal of the Buddhist Society “Offers a concise and clear overview of the various primary schools of Tibetan Buddhism, contrasting them with various non-Buddhist views… . This work is easily understood, and the discussions are presented in a simple and straightforward manner… . While the commentaries are insightful, they are not overpowering and hence assist the new student of Tenets to come to a bird’s eye view of the subject… . A valuable introduction to an important subject.“—Living Traditions
