This controversy about the nature of mind which persists to the present day raises many questions.This book first presents the final exposition of special insight by Tsong-kha-pa, the founder of the Ge-luk-pa order of Tibetan Buddhism in his medium-length \u003ci\u003eExposition of the Stages of the Path\u003c\/i\u003e as well as the sections on the object of negation and on the two truths in his \u003ci\u003eIllumination of the Thought: Extensive Explanation of Chandrakirti's Supplement to Nagarjuna's \"Treatise on the Middle\u003c\/i\u003e.\" It then details the views of his predecessor Dol-po-pa Shay-rap Gyel-tsen, the seminal author of philosophical treatises of the Jo-nang-pa order as found in his \u003ci\u003eMountain Doctrine\u003c\/i\u003e followed by an analysis of Tsong-kha-pa's reactions. By contrasting the two systems—Dol-po-pa's doctrine of other-emptiness and Tsong-kha-pa's doctrine of self-emptiness—both views emerge more clearly,contributing to a fuller picture of reality as viewed in Tibetan Buddhism. Tsong-kha-pa's \u003ci\u003eFinal Exposition of Wisdom\u003c\/i\u003e brilliantly explicates ignorance and wisdom, explains the relationship between dependent-arising and emptiness, shows how to meditate on emptiness, and explains what it means to view phenomena as like illusions.","brand":"Snow Lion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44220267856127,"sku":"9781559392976","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781559392976_s600x595.jpg?v=1775588201","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781559392976","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
