Gadzooks, horrid sounding!
Perhaps I should take a chance on one of those Laser eye fixit operations.
May all seek, find & follow the Path of Buddhas.

Gonna need more than a laser fixit to read these puppies lol

90 for the set.
One volume is appendices, glossary, and supplemental texts. Pretty good value for the breadth of material...

There is no suffering to be severed. Ignorance and klesas are indivisible from bodhi. There is no cause of suffering to be abandoned. Since extremes and the false are the Middle and genuine, there is no path to be practiced. Samsara is nirvana. No severance achieved. No suffering nor its cause. No path, no end. There is no transcendent realm; there is only the one true aspect. There is nothing separate from the true aspect.

Amazon said a delay in shipping has manifested. So between the small type, price and having read and not finished too much lately - I cancelled the order.

Thank you, I ordered a copy. Surprised at the price to be honest, 90 dollars for a three volume hard bound set seems quite low. I can't imagine the translator is making much, if any, compensation for this. One day maybe merit will pay the bills, until then I hope he has a great pension.

It's paperback...
I don't think professors go into the academy to get rich. Life of the mind, as I once heard a guy say. There's a good essay on Swanson's page at Nanzan University sharing his thoughts on completing the translation...

He seems quite content. He got to wrestle with this text as a job for 30 years. Fortunate man.
