[Buddha-l] Question about Donald. S. Lopez, Jr.

[Barnaby Thieme]

I have been delighted with Lopez's study of dge-'dun-chos-phel entitled "The 
Madman's Middle Way". It contains an annotated translation of chos-phel's 
"Ornament of Nagarjuna's Thought", which is a fabulous work.

Prisoners of Shangri-La is also quite good.
