““... a book of outstanding authority and clarity”

“... a book of outstanding authority and clarity that seamlessly bridges East and West while maintaining a consistently high level of intellectual sophistication in both traditions. ...Mipham’s various writings specifically on Madhyamaka have never been brought together and presented as a single systematic whole in this way in any language”
- Rob Meyer, Buddhist Studies Review
“This monograph captures all the myriad details of Tibetan Buddhism’s philosophical examination of emptiness”
-Georg Feuerstein, Traditional Yoga Studies
“...an original and valuable contribution to the history and interpretation of Buddhist philosophical thought in Tibet”
