This book provides an analyzed translation of part of Jam-yang-zhay-pa’s Decisive Analysis of the Middle, also called Great Exposition of the Middle, which came to be the normative textbook for the study of Chandrakīrti’s Middle Way treatise in the Go-mang College of Dre-pung Monastery. Translated here is the section on what is negated in the Middle Way Consequence School.
The book provides the first translation of this section of Jam-yang-zhay-pa’s Decisive Analysis of (Chandrakīrti’s) “Supplement to (Nāgārjuna’s) ‘Treatise on the Middle’”: Treasury of Scripture and Reasoning, Thoroughly Illuminating the Profound Meaning [of Emptiness], Entrance of the Fortunate. It is a dramatic expansion on this topic by Tsong-kha-pa Lo-sang-drag-pa, whose seminal treatise is also included.
