It is clear from reading the book that the editor did not agree with the
opinions
of the translator, and that the translator did not like Tsong Kha Pa. I
agree
that Mullin is better. A very good translation of Tsong Kha Pa recently was
done
by Thurman. I have it somewhere around here but can't seem to find it...
