The celebrated Tibetan yogi and teacher Gen Lamrimpa gives instruction on using the reasoning of the Madhyamika school to realise ultimate reality, experiencing directly the way in which all things exist as interrelated dependent-arisings.
After spending 20 years in solitary retreat, Gen Lamrimpa was requested by the Dalai Lama to take a more active role as a teacher. Subsequently, he accepted an invitation to the West, where he gave the teachings presented here in response to a request for practical instructions on Madhyamaka insight meditation aimed at realizing emptiness. The book closes with two chapters on Dzogchen and its relation to Madhyamaka.
