"One of Tibet"s greatest scholar-saints, Je Tsongkhapa's contributions to both exoteric and tantric Buddhism cannot be overestimated. Tsongkhapa is known for his masterful (if not uncontroversial) explanation of the Madhyamaka view, for his erudite tantric commentaries, for his detailed and clear interpretation of scripture, and for his extensive writings on the profound spiritual tradition known as the 'stages of the path,' or lamrim. While portions of Je Tsongkhapa's oeuvre have been the object of academic scrutiny over the last half century, no single work has attempted to survey his thought as a whole. This book does precisely that. With contributions by some of the world's finest scholars of the Geluk tradition, this broad-ranging work will be the go-to sourcebook for Tsongkhapa studies for many years to come, making Tsongkhapa a real gift to scholars and practitioners alike."
