The Foundation of Buddhist Thought series is the curriculum of a popular course developed by the Tibetan Gelugpa Lama Geshe Tashi Tsering especially for his Western students. Geshe Tashi is the resident Lama at Jamyang Buddhist Centre in London. This volume, the fifth of six, investigates the Buddhist view of reality and the often misunderstood topic of emptiness - that things do not have any inherent, independent existence. A proper understanding of emptiness allows us to see the world as a realm of infinite possibilty, instead of a static system.
