The teachings in Insight into Emptiness are well organized and carefully direct the reader to a thoroughgoing examination of the way the self and phenomena exist. While this presentation is articulated clearly, the sophisticated nature Insight into Emptiness the philosophy of emptiness requires the reader to become familiar with intricate concepts and technical vocabulary. Since the explanation of terms and concepts is supported with excellent examples, those who persevere in reading and contemplating the teachings will be rewarded as their familiarity with emptiness will certainly develop.
