Trade Review
"The first part [of the book], an extensive introduction, can stand on its own as an insightful and incisive study of Tibetan philosophy, its roots in India, and its relevance to a twentieth-century Western audience. The second part translates Tsong Khapa's text... The quality of both the translation and the introductory essay makes this book a valuable contribution to the study of the central way."--Karen Lang, Journal of Asian Studies
