dj in mylar; navy c w/ git spine titles; 219 clean, unmarked pages/index.Scholarly work that examines how core Buddhist concepts developed in India and were later received, interpreted, and adapted in Tibet, The book explores doctrines concerning the innate potential for awakening (tathāgatagarbha), the natural luminosity of the mind (prakṛtiprabhāsvaratā), and how these concepts form the spiritual foundation (gzhi) for achieving ultimate enlightenment (phala), It analyzes the relationship between the final goal of awakening and the developmental stages of the spiritual path (mārga), addressing whether enlightenment unfolds gradually through practice or occurs instantaneously, & investigates the interplay of innate qualities ("nature") versus cultivation/practice ("nurture") within Buddhist salvation theory (soteriology) and the theory of knowledge (gnoseology).
