A classic exposition of the Mind-Only School of Mahayana Buddhism is now made available to a wider public for the first time. Included are two commentaries which flesh out the terse root text and explore the underlying philosophical issues.

Very difficult text

This is a text that is the source for some strands in the thread of Tibetan Buddhism. The original Sanskrit text was translated into Tibetan and it here has the benefit of a early modern commentary by a master.

The matter discussed in the text is the advanced theory and practice of Mahayana Buddhism. It is important philosophically because its author is one of the early sources of one of the Mahayana schools.

Since my Lama has me working on other things, I have put this text aside. If you are interested in Mahayana philosophy it is important. But for practice it is not much help. Get and follow the advice of a Lama if you want to follow Tibetan Buddhism. Even an advanced test like this is too densely written to be much help.
