How to study Buddhist pramāṇa without Dignāga and Dharmakirti?
Dignāga and Dharmakirti appear to be pretty much required if you want to truly understand the Buddhist philosophy. I myself feel like I'm missing an important first step when for example reading on consciousnesses-and-images discussion by Śāntarakṣita and I can't grasp why ālambana(perception) isn't real and only consciousness is existent. The problem is that none of their works are fully translated into English.
All their English translations are like 10 different translations of small parts that only exist on extremely obscure and hard to find old websites and then you need to combine these small disrepant parts like a jigsaw puzzle and even then there'll be a lot of text missing. I really dislike reading philosophy like this. Are there any later texts that are translated or some really good summarizations to understand Buddhist pramāṇa?
