The Grand Master

Abstract

This is a most informative and engaging work regarding the life and writings of a controversial and provocative 14th century Tibetan thinker, a man, who with considerable courage and insight, attempt­ ed to produce an acceptable reconciliation between the Madhya-mika and Cittamatra aspects of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. In achieving this goal, he has greatly enriched our understanding of both the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and of Buddhism as a whole. J. Bruce Long
