Reviews
"Will stand for many years as the standard English translation of this key Tibetan Buddhist text."- Publishers Weekly "The Wallaces have produced a concise, literal, and elegant translation. The extant Sanskrit edition frequently differs from the one used in Tibet a millennium ago, and the Wallaces have noted these differences in copious footnotes. These features make their translation both highly readable and an excellent source for scholars of the original languages."- Tricycle, "Will stand for many years as the standard English translation of this key Tibetan Buddhist text."-- Publishers Weekly "The Wallaces have produced a concise, literal, and elegant translation.

These features make their translation both highly readable and an excellent source for scholars of the original languages."-- Tricycle, "Wallace and Wallace succeed with admirable eloquence where some earlier translations (such as S. Batchelor's) flounder under the weight of the scholarly apparatus used to represent the voices in the text."-- Liz Wilson, Religious Studies Review, "The Wallaces have produced a concise, literal, and elegant translation. The extant Sanskrit edition frequently differs from the one used in Tibet a millennium ago, and the Wallaces have noted these differences in copious footnotes. These features make their translation both highly readable and an excellent source for scholars of the original languages."--Tricycle: The Buddhist Review
