Dependent-arising and emptiness : a Tibetan buddhist interpretation of Mādhyamika philosophy emphasizing the compatibility of emptiness and conventional phenomena

Dependent-arising and emptiness are two essential Buddhist concepts. Elizabeth Napper helps us understand the integral relationship of these ideas and the ways that they have been interpreted by Tibetan and Western scholars. An essential reference work for students and practitioners of Buddhism. Along with a translation of the insight (vipashyana) section of Tsongkhapa's Great Exposition on the Stages of the Path (Lam rim chen mo) , Napper provides an extensive introduction that contrasts the Geluk view of emptiness to that of Western scholars, and a translation of four interwoven commentaries on the text. str_20160405_0000 1 str_20160405_0001_2R 2 str_20160405_0002_1L 3

str_20160421_0024_2R 852 str_20160421_0026 853 str_20160421_0027 854 Based on a translation of part of Tsong Khapa's Great Stages of the Path or Lam Rim Chenmo, this important work emphasises the compatibility of emptiness and conventional phenomena. It shows how the highest school of Buddhist philosophy can completely deny any concrete, solid status to the world around us and yet still maintain a valid presentation of that very world based on ethical principles. The brilliant yogi-scholar Lama Tsong Khapa, founder of the Gelugpa lineage, demonstrated how these two core concepts are not only compatible, but are mutually contingent. Along with a translation of the Special Insight, or vipassana, section of Lam Rim Chenmo, Napper provides an extensive introduction that contrasts the Gelugpa view of emptiness to that of Western scholars and a translation of four inter-woven commentaries on the text. "Napper does not remain content with mere description of the story of emptiness philosopy in Tibet; to assist the modern reader she also brings it into contemporary philosophical discussion by relating it to current debates on the relationship between logic, language, and reality. Dependent Arising is a must for anyone interested in the Tibetan understanding of Madhyamika philosophy." Geshe Thubten Jinpa.

Dependent-arising and emptiness are two essential Buddhist concepts. Elizabeth Napper helps us understand the integral relationship of these ideas and the ways that they have been interpreted by Tibetan and Western scholars. This book is an essential reference work for students and practitioners of Buddhism.
