This Classic Course explores the unfolding of the genius and wisdom in each of us in the quest for the liberating insight into selflessness.

Dr. Thurman's brilliant dissertation on the masterful works by the illuminated Lama, Tsong Khapa (1357-1419), on The Buddhist Theory of Relativity makes this an astounding must-have set of recordings.
