"Groundless Paths completes Karl Brunnhölzl's brilliant
three-volume study of Tibetan commentaries on the Ornament of Clear
Realization. In this volume, the great nineteenth-century master
Patrul Rinpoche adds a Nyingma perspective to the Kagyü viewpoints
found in Gone Beyond. Altogether, this collection is a marvelous
resource for scholars and practitioners who wish to understand the
depth and breadth of the Buddhist path."—Andy Karr, author of
Contemplating Reality
"Groundless Paths contains Dza Patrul Rinpoche's brilliant
commentaries on the Abhisamayalamkara, masterfully translated and
annotated by Karl Brunnhölzl. This third volume completes the
presentation of the major Kagyü and Nyingma works on the
prajñaparamita literature in English for the first time."—Elizabeth

Three
