This book provides the first English translation of Candrakirti's commentary (ca. 6-7th century C.E.) on four illusions that prevent people from becoming Buddhas. Lang's translation captures the clarity of Candrakirti's arguments and the lively humor of the stories and examples he uses. Lang's introduction explores the range of Candrakirti's interests in religion，philosophy，psychology，politics, and erotic poetry. 月稱是西元六一七世紀頃之著名論師，曾編輯龍樹中論著，提婆之四百論注，此外又撰述《入中論》一書. Karen此書是月稱探討「四顛倒」的首部英譯本，除清楚地闡述月稱的論點外,並配以個人生活上的一些幽默小故事為例,使全書在譯辭嚴謹中不失生動有趣,充分展現月稱在宗教，哲學，心理學，政治學，詩偈等各方面的造詣.
