This publication preserves the oral teachings of Khenchen Migmar Tsering on Candrakīrti’s Madhyamakāvatāra, the seminal text on the philosophy of emptiness.
Following the important commentary by Gorampa Sönam Sengé (1429–1489), Khenchen Migmar Tsering—former abbot of Sakya College in India—makes this profound philosophy accessible to contemporary students. Gorampa was one of the most influential teachers in the Sakya tradition and a prolific author, whose philosophical writings in particular have become major works of reference for scholars of later generations, also outside his own tradition. Khenchen Migmar Tsering’s extraordinarily lucid teachings serve as a comprehensive guide to the logical reasoning and meditative insights of the Middle Way, making the wisdom of this seminal commentary accessible to modern seekers.
