Review :
"...this is a valuable and serious contribution to the study of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy that will be of real interest to specialists." - Journal of the American Oriental Society "Duckworth significantly advances our understanding of this important figure and this long-neglected period of Tibetan intellectual life." - Journal of Asian Studies "...an important in-depth study ... Duckworth's study has succeeded in making a significant intra-religious Buddhist dialogue available in English. It thereby represents a valuable piece of the puzzle." - Journal of the American Academy of Religion "The author brings impressive detail and erudition to bear on this topic; he is clearly well read in the relevant Tibetan materials, the Indian background, and relevant contemporary scholarship. This book represents a significant contribution to the fields of Tibetan and Buddhist studies, and it fills a gap in our knowledge of Nyingma philosophy." - Gregory A. Hillis, University of California at Santa Barbara
