It examines the critique by the leading Nyingma school philosopher Mipham formulated in his diverse writings.

The book focuses on related issues such as what is negated by the doctrine of emptiness, the nature of ultimate reality, and the difference between 'extrinsic' and 'intrinsic' emptiness. Karma Phuntsho's book aptly undertakes a thematic and selective discussion of these debates and Mipham's qualms about the Gelukpa understanding of Emptiness in a mixture of narrative and analytic style.

Jan 03, Barnaby Thieme rated it really liked it Shelves: A useful and sometimes-challenging overview of Mipham's views on Madhyamaka with some big revelations for me, particularly pertaining to his basic posture with regards to the depraved shentong or "emptiness-of-other" doctrine. This book is a little limited in that it treats a highly specialized topic but also shoots for a broad audience, giving a lot of introductory information on Madhyamaka and its history in India and Tibet.

My hunch is that the people who are drawn to this book, like me, aren A useful and sometimes-challenging overview of Mipham's views on Madhyamaka with some big revelations for me, particularly pertaining to his basic posture with regards to the depraved shentong or "emptiness-of-other" doctrine. My hunch is that the people who are drawn to this book, like me, aren't going to need it and are going to get impatient digging through it, like I did. We need more on Mipham in English. I find him to be the greatest Tibetan exegete of the last years, an inspiring scholar of staggering genius.

I see you working on yet another damned translation of Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika -- put it down! Translate some Mipham instead!

The author is incredibly adept at the English language his second forcing me to look up a few words, but that's a good thing! I sent the book back about six weeks ago, so I can't give much of a meaningful review except to say if you are a fan of Mipham Rinpoche and can find a way to get your hands on this book, I don't think you'll be disappointed. He spends time on the basic reasons we need to understand the doctrine of emptiness as a religious issue, explains some of the fundamentals of Tibetan debate and reasoning for the uninitiated, explains emptiness as a path of meditation, and as the goal of the path.

From there he gives some history about the "fuss" of it all, the controversies surrounding the subtle but all-important points dividing understanding and completely missing the boat. While showing Mipham's dedication to the view of Shantarakshita as fundamentally "Nyingma" and worthwhile he goes about confronting some of the polemics against Shantarakshita and his followers, as dealt with by Mipham himself, the fairly uncontested champion of modern Nyingma scholarship.
