"Lama Mipham was one of the most extraordinary thinkers and  
meditators of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. In his Beacon of  
Certainty he illuminates some essential points of Madhyamika  
philosophy according to the view of the Great Perfection (Dzogchen).  
John Pettit's translation and in-depth presentation is a major  
contribution to the field of combining Madhyamika and Dzogchen  
studies, which that remains largely unexplored."
