"The relative and the ultimate do not exclude each other; and it should be understood that it is precisely due to their own nature (emptiness) that conventional phenomena are able to appear."
p. 214

More than the work itself, I found the introduction so revealing, and well written. I'm no linguist and cannot speak for the quality of the translation. The genre is typically pedagogical, and a little verbose for my modern bent. Scholars of Indian sastra usually rewrite the whole doctrine according to their understanding, as if it was the only thing you'd ever need to read. It can be a bit tiring for someone just looking for differences, but the material is infinitely profound. If I had nothing else to read, I'd read it over and over again. Five stars for the introduction.… (más)

This work clarifies the Madyamaka (Madyamika) more fully than any work I know of. Of course, I only know works in English. But I do know the larger proportion of those available, which isn't to say that I'm an "expert." But I have an opinion about nearly everything.
