EMPTINESS IN THE MIND-ONLY SCHOOL OF BUDDHISM: Dynamic Responses to Dzong-ka-ba's The Essence of Eloquence: Iby Jeffrey HopkinsFocuses on how the conflict between appearance and reality is presented in the Mind-Only, or Yogic Practice School. The Essence of Eloquence is so rich that numerous Tibetan and Mongolian scholars have been drawn into a dynamic process of finding and creating consistency in Dzong-ka-ba's often terse and cryptic tract. Hopkins has made extensive use of these commentaries to annotate the translation in such a way that the issues come alive. Included are historical and doctrinal introductions, a critical edition of the text, and a lengthy synopisis. (second vol. entitled: Reflections on Reality). . | |
