Jnanagarbha on the Two Truths

Jnanagarbha’s Two Truths is a succinct and clear introduction to the major issues and personalities that dominated Indian Madhyamaka thought just before Tibet was introduced. Jnanagarbha’s works, which are an example of the important but lesser-known Svatantrika branch, of the Madhyamaka school, shows how commitment to reason in search of ultimate truth shaped the dialogue between Madhyamaka thinkers, and members from other Buddhist schools, as well as the evolution of Madhyamaka tradition. David Eckel has provided an introduction to Jnanagarbha that places the text in its historical and philosophical context. This volume is useful for scholars and general readers alike. It includes extensive notes, a transliterated Tibetan translation and a reproduction the original Tibetan blockprints.
