Critics Review
“When one thinks of Mahayana philosophy, one often thinks of emptiness and buddha nature. But, as the scholars of Tibet knew, all Buddhist philosophy is based on the Abhidharma. In this remarkable volume, we find translations of works by some of the greatest Tibetan masters in the history of Buddhist philosophy exploring and explicating fundamental questions about the very nature of consciousness.”–Donald Lopez, distinguished university professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies, University of Michigan
