Looks really interesting. Looking forward to reading...I took a quick look at the dissertation and was looking to see how you used the word "ascetic". I was curious how you use it in the context of this "third" way of being Buddhist.
-
In which context exactly? But yes, tantric practice despite accommodating bhoga and moksha, is nonetheless predicated on imho on a sort of ironic, ascetic disengagement from samsaric experience

Amused that it's 6.66mb. Also out of curiosity I started listening to it at work with my text to speech program...not surprisingly it didn't work well trying to pronounce the Tibetan.

Haha! How does the program deal with ngakpa? ‘Uhnn-gak-par’?
