"Offers readers a valuable tool for understanding [the Great Treatise]...fresh and straightforward...complete and comprehensive in itself." --Buddhadharma"This magnificent, readable and thoroughly engaging work is a modern classic in the making." --Anne Carolyn Klein, Professor, Rice University; author of Unbounded Wholeness and Meeting the Great Bliss Queen"A magnificent, very readable and thoroughly engaging work." --The Middle Way"...a very readable and informative hybrid of personally relevant exposition and scholarly contextualization...Newland keeps the reader engaged...In restating Tsongkhapa's case, Newland has written a guide that furnishes the tools and motivation for further exploration, and even the confidence to take the next step, whatever that might be. Introduction to Emptiness is an open-armed invitation into an important and all-too-often forbidding realm of study." --Andrew Merz, Tricycle"Newland ties in many contemporary examples that assist in his task of making emptiness comprehensible. A definite book for anyone interested in understanding Buddhism to add to his or her library."  --Ashe Journal
