This book explores a number of themes in connection with the
concept of Emptiness, a highly technical but very central notion in
Indo-Tibetan Buddhism. It examines the critique by the leading
Nyingma school philosopher Mipham (1846-1912), one of Tibet's
brightest and most versatile minds, 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. These issues continue to be the subject of lively debate
among contemporary exponents of Tibetan Buddhist thought. 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. For the first time, a major variant understanding of
Emptiness to the Gelukpa interpretation that has become dominant in
both Tibet and the West is revealed.
