Elevating Yog=ac=ara to the level of Madhyamaka and admitting irreconcilable differences between Yog=ac=ara and Ni.hsvabh=avav=ada, Shakya Chokden nevertheless presents both systems as providing valid philosophical and contemplative means of achieving Buddhahood...Exploring these and other seminal issues in Buddhist thought and contemplative practice, the book serves as an invaluable source for scholars and advanced students of Tibetan Buddhism.
