Review Quotes: "[A]n overall outstanding contribution to the study of Dignaga's Yogacara philosophy and its Tibetan reception in the Dge lugs pa school. The present monograph will be a starting point for any future study of the Tibetan reception of the Investigation of the Percept."--eading Religion
"This work beautifully exemplifies how collaborative work can result in a product of higher quality than any of the scholars might have produced individually. The careful philosophical analysis of Dignaga's Alambanapariksa and its commentaries shows that there were several ways of interpreting Digna?ga's laconic presentation. Because of its thoroughness, this study is sure to be a durable standard work to be consulted for generations to come." --Richard P. Hayes, author of Dignaga, On the Interpretation of Signs
