"This book contains a translation of the Buddhist masterpiece Distinguishing the Middle from Extremes. The work employs the principle of the three natures to explain the way things seem to be as well as the way they actually are. Unraveling the subtle processes that condition our thinking and experience, Maitreya's teaching reveals a powerful path of compassionate vision and spiritual transformation. Distinguishing the Middle from Extremes is here presented alongside commentaries by two outstanding masters of Tibet's nonsectarian Rime movement, Khenpo Shenga and Ju Mipham."--BOOK JACKET
