Introduction to Emptiness: As Taught in Tsong-kha-pa's Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path - Softcover
Synopsis
Readers are hard-pressed to find books that can help them understand the central concept in Mahayana Buddhism—the idea that ultimate reality is emptiness. In clear language, Introduction to Emptiness explains that emptiness is not a mystical sort of nothingness, but a specific truth that can and must be understood through calm and careful reflection. Newland's contemporary examples and vivid anecdotes will be helpful to students trying to understand one of the great classic texts of the Tibetan tradition, Tsong-kha-pa's Great Treatise.

Review
"Offers readers a valuable tool for understanding [the Great Treatise]...fresh and straightforward...complete and comprehensive in itself." -- Buddhadharma
"This magnificent, readable and thoroughly engaging work is a modern classic in the making." -- Anne Carolyn Klein, Professor, Rice University; author of Unbounded Wholeness and Meeting the Great Bliss Queen
"A magnificent, very readable and thoroughly engaging work." --The Middle Way
"...a very readable and informative hybrid of personally relevant exposition and scholarly contextualization...Newland keeps the reader engaged...In restating Tsongkhapa's case, Newland has written a guide that furnishes the tools and motivation for further exploration, and even the confidence to take the next step, whatever that might be. Introduction to Emptiness is an open-armed invitation into an important and all-too-often forbidding realm of study." --Andrew Merz, Tricycle
"Newland ties in many contemporary examples that assist in his task of making emptiness comprehensible. A definite book for anyone interested in understanding Buddhism to add to his or her library." --Ashe Journal
