The Madman's Middle Way

Autorentext
Donald S. Lopez Jr. is the Arthur E. Link Distinguished University Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan. His books include Curators of the Buddha: The Study of Buddhism under Colonialism, Prisoners of Shangri-La: Tibetan Buddhism and the West, and Critical Terms for the Study of Buddhism, all published by the University of Chicago Press.

Klappentext
Ultimately, Lopez examines the long-standing debate over whether Gendun Chopel in fact is the author of the "Adornment"; the heated critical response to the work by Tibetan monks of the Dalai Lama's sect; and what the "Adornment" tells us about Tibetan Buddhism's encounter with modernity. The result is an insightful glimpse into a provocative and enigmatic work that will intrigue anyone interested in Buddhism or Asian religions.

Zusammenfassung
Gendun Chopel is considered the most important Tibetan intellectual of the twentieth century. This title presents the English translation of the work, "Adornment for Nagarjuna's Thought", accompanied by an essay on Gendun Chopel's life liberally interspersed with passages from his writings.
