Three Visions of Profound Reality
with Guy Newland
When Buddha meditated on the causes of human suffering and dissatisfaction, he found liberation by realizing what he called the Profound Reality. Professor Newland explains the distinctive power of Tsongkhapa’s articulation of this vision, contrasting it with the approaches of other Tibetan masters such as Dölpopa Sherap Gyaltsen and Goram Sönam Senge.
