Buddhism

Several years in the Tibetan monastic curriculum are devoted to study of the Sautrantika tenet system, for it forms the basis for Madhyamika epistemology. The systematization of Sautrantika assertions has interested generations of Tibetan scholars to the present. Three major types of scholastic literature developed- presentations of the whole tenet system, syllogistic debate texts on problematic topics, and expository treatments of single important issues. Klein annotates translations of outstanding texts in these categories and supplements them with commentary from Tibetan yogi/scholars.

(Financial Times, July 5, 2006) ...excellent new book... a compelling case for change. (The Marketer, January 2007) Important issues, well presented, that deserve a wide audience (Long Range Planning, July 2007)
