Crystal clear guide to why our choices matter
By globally homeless "V" - March 5, 2008Buddhists say that all things are empty, but it is hard to get a really thorough explanation of this that one can read without knowing technical jargon. Newland uses vivid examples to show exactly what emptiness is, why it matters, and why--in a world of emptiness and relativity--our choices are morally crucial. This book is designed for the intelligent beginner or near-beginner, but the content is illuminating even to those who have studied Buddhism for years. The brevity of the book derives from the fact that it illuminates the meaning of emptiness based on a single source, a major work on emptiness by the founder of the Dalai Lama's sect. Includes a useful glossary. Highly recommended for anyone with a more than superficial interest in Buddhist practice or philosophy.
Excellent resource for beginners and Buddhist scholars alike
By P. Cabrera - March 18, 2008Dr. Newland's book tackles a tenet of Buddhist cosmology that often mystifies novices and advanced practitioners alike: The notion of emptiness. For those of us with a superficial understanding of Buddhism, Newland provides a firm foundation in the concept of emptiness that will allow the reader to pursue a more in-depth exploration of this seemingly chimerical concept. Don't let the small size of this book fool you: Each paragraph contains a wealth of information, and certain passages will require the reader to engage in deep reflection on the concepts presented in the book. Although the book is dense with complex philosophical arguments, Dr. Newland remains true to the title of the book by distilling these arguments in such a manner that they remain quite accessible to the average reader. It is important to note that this distillation of complex ideas is not a "watering down" of complex concepts and arguments.
One of the best features of this book is Dr. Newland's... read more
fine western author makes classic Tibetan text accessible
By C. G. Henderson - April 14, 2008The Great Treatise is a foundational text of Tibetan Buddhism, especially for the Gelugpa lineage (best known as the lineage associated with the Dalai Lama). Although recently translated into English, this key text is still very challenging for western students. That makes this explanatory volume especially welcome.
In this book Professor Newland brings together both his informal, humorous teaching style and his deep scholarly knowledge of the text and its traditions. He does a beautiful job of making clear the main concepts of "emptiness" for a more general western reader, while at the same time producing a book which amply rewards the serious student and practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism.
An exceptionally valuable contribution to the English language literature on Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and practice. Highly recommended.
