His works continue to be widely studied in the Tibetan cultural region and beyond. This book provides an in-depth account of Mipam's view, drawing on a wide range of his works and offering several new translations. Douglas S. Duckworth shows how a dialectic of presence and absence permeates Mipam's writings on the Middle Way and Buddha-nature. Arguably the most important doctrine in Buddhism, Buddha-nature is, for Mipam, equivalent to the true meaning of emptiness; it is the ground of all and the common ground shared by sentient beings and Buddhas. This ground is the foundation of the path and inseparable from the goal of Buddhahood. Duckworth probes deeply into Mipam's writings on Buddha-nature to illuminate its central place in a dynamic Buddhist philosophy 606 $aRin-ma-pa (Sect)$xDoctrines 606 $aMadhyamika (Buddhism) 606 $aBuddhahood 615 0$aRin-ma-pa (Sect)$xDoctrines. 615 0$aMadhyamika (Buddhism) 615 0$aBuddhahood. 676 $a294.3/420423 700 $aDuckworth$b Douglas S.$f1971-$01681454 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809896503321 996 $aMipam on Buddha-nature$94069964 997 $aUNINA
