From the Publisher

This study of the Twenty Verses on the Great Vehicle and of the Verses on the Heart of Dependent Origination provides readable translations of the texts, followed by text-critical material, edited Tibetan, and wide-ranging commentary. Detailed editions of and comments upon 8th or 9th century Dunhuang manuscripts are included.

As the Dalai Lama's translator says on theback cover, "A remarkable example of what a combination of Sanskrit and Tibetan scholarship can do to illuminate the meaning of ancient Buddhist texts."

If you are interested in what happens to manuscripts found in ancient walled up cave temples then this book should suit you. So often the story is only of the discovery. How often do you get to see completed scholarship on such finds in a format readable by the layman?

If you approach it that way, I would be very much surprised if you don't quickly find yourself swept up in the profundity of Nagarjuna's thought.

If you know nothing about Nagarjuna, he was a second century Buddhist monk and philosopher who founded what… + read more
