"A crucial contribution to our understanding of the formation of
tantric Buddhism in Tibet and an impressive feat of translation by
a leading scholar... explores the key sources available to the
Tibetan author and how he established himself as a major authority
on Cakrasamvara while grounding tantric practice in philosophical
study and the realization of emptiness."--Jacob Dalton, University
of California, Berkeley
"A timely, painstakingly precise, engagingly readable translation
of an important scholastic treatise on Buddhist tantric tradition
from early 15th-century Tibet.... worthy of extended reflection and
analysis by anyone wanting to understand Tibetan perspectives on
Indian Buddhist tantra."--Kurtis Schaeffer, University of
Virginia
"Consistent and exemplary... careful... thorough... always
thoughtful in providing both specialist and general reader with a
consistently useful analysis."--Todd Lewis, College of the Holy
Cross
