Synopsis:
The idea of the Middle Way is upheld by all Buddhists, yet its meaning can be unclear. In Tibetan Buddhism, the interpretation of what are called the two truths - the deceptive truth of conventional appearances and the ultimate truth of emptiness - is especially divisive. This comparative analysis examines the differing approaches taken by two great Buddhist scholars, Lama Tsong Khapa and Gorampa, towards the Middle Way. It demonstrates how philosophical positions have dramatic implications for how one approaches Buddhist practice and even how one understands enlightenment itself.
"To understand the Tibetan philosophy one must take seriously the fundamental and irreconcilable differences among Tibetan teachers on what is the true Madhyamaka view of ultimate and conventional truths. In crystal-clear prose and scrupulously constructed arguments, Sonam Thakchoes' work convincingly demonstrates the great richness and diversity found among Tibetan Madhyamikas. His evenhanded juxtaposition of Tsong Khapa and Gorampa brings us new understanding of each one's views as these are cast in relief against the other's. I welcome and recommend the Two Truths Debate as a wonderful contribution to Tibetan philosophy." Guy Newland.
"Dr. Thakchoe's exploration of Nagarjuna's philosophy and its development through the Indian and Tibetan commentarial tradition is exceptionally clear and precise." Prof. Jay Garfield. |
