Relative Truth, Ultimate Truth: The Foundation of Buddhist Thought, Volume 2

Foundation of Buddhist Thought #2

by Tashi Tsering, Gordon McDougall (Editor), Thubten Zopa (Foreword)

Relative Truth, Ultimate Truth is a clear and remarkably practical presentation of a core Buddhist teaching on the nature of reality. Geshe Tashi Tsering provides readers with an excellent opportunity to enhance not only thier knowledge of Buddhism, but also a powerful means to profoundly enhance their view of the world.

The Buddhist teaching of the "two truths" is the gateway to understanding the often-misunderstood philosophy of emptiness. This volume is an excellent source of support for anyone interested in cultivating a more holistic and transformative understanding of the world around them and ultimately of their own conciousness.

[Chris Carlisle · Rating 5 out of 5]

A most comprehensive look at the four schools of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy. Geshe Tashi Tsering presents difficult concepts concerning the. differences and similarities among the schools which can be subtle in a way that is understandable to the average reader who is interested in Buddhist ways of thinking about the way things exist. He explains that, unlike Western philosophy, Buddhist philosophy was created for the sole purpose of enlightenment rather than an ontological study.

Very dry in the discussion of the 4 past schools of Buddhist thought, but the understanding of relative truth and ultimate truth is a key element of my discernment of phenomena in my practice. The online course, also, really helped.
