Reviews
"In this fine study . . . Fox displays not only his impressive grasp of Buddhist philosophy but a commendable ability to elucidate difficult terms and concepts found in a variety of Buddhist traditions. Ably translated, analyzed, and commented upon . . . recommended for upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and especially for theological seminaries." - Choice
