Reviews

[Sakya Pandita's] treatise addresses both major and minor errors or unlawful deviations from the Dharma, and Rhoton's ample notes help the reader through the conceptual jungle of a philosophical work of this nature. - Traditional Yoga Studies Interactive The first English translation of Sakya Pandita's thirteenth-century The Three Codes, together with his epistles, provides ready access to one of the pivotal scholastic polemic works of Tibetan Buddhism. Sakya Pandita offers a remarkable lens upon a culture struggling to define what authentic appropriation of Buddhist thought and practice from other cultures should entail, pointedly criticizing opposing systems that represent other Tibetan attempts at such appropriation. - John Makransky, coeditor of Buddhist Theology: Critical Reflections by Contemporary Buddhist Scholars
