Through Vitalsource, it can be used for 180 days for $127, or via the UK site 50£ for the same period - probably more costly than the OUP e-edition will be.

Heartfelt congratulations to Rupert Gethin with regard to the appearance of this long-awaited book that was so long in the making! 

For everyone interested -- and those many of us who don't have access to Oxford Academic, etc. -- the book (the digital version) is also available here:

https://www.vitalsource.com/de/products/mapping-a-buddha-39-s-mind-rupert-gethin-v9780192598707?srsltid=AU7gw4XWlwpYCdI2St1EHBY3fvmzm3J_iw1ewSpL0GP8A_Kx7d5EXVZ-

It became available at the end of August. I have already read it (well, most of it), and even referred to it in one of my papers. 

The book is truly a masterpiece and sheds so much new light on this very special, difficult and enigmatic subject.

With kind regards,

Gleb Sharygin

"Evaṃ vimuttacitto kho, aggivessana, bhikkhu na kenaci saṃvadati, na

kenaci vivadati, yañca loke vuttaṃ tena voharati, aparāmasa"nti.

Schopenhauer was wandering through Berlin’s famous Tiergarten once at

night. Thinking he was a tramp, a security guard approached him and asked

roughly, "Who are you? Where did you come from? Why are you

here? Where are you going?" Astounded, Schopenhauer replied: "If you

could only answer these questions to me, I'd be eternally grateful!"
