The Roar of a Tibetan Lion

This book explores the contributions to the philosophy of mind made by the Tibetan Buddhist thinker Phya pa Chos kyi seng ge (1109-1169) in his seminal text, the Dispeller of the Mind's Darkness. This study, which includes a critical edition and English translation of those portions of the Dispeller devoted to explicating the nature of mental episodes and their objects, contributes to a deeper understanding of Tibetan intellectual history, while also facilitating a wider appreciation of both Phya pa's theory of mind and its significance within the global history of philosophy.
