| Abstract | Shantarakshitas's text is considered to be the quintessential exposition or root text of the school of Buddhist philosophical thought known in Tibet as Yogachara-Svatantrika-Madhyamaka.
In addition to examining his ideas in their Indian context，this study examines the way Shantarakshita's ideas have been understood by，and been an influence on，Tibetan Buddhist traditions.
This is the first book length study of the Madyamaka thought of Shantarakshita in any Western language. It includes a new translation of Shantarakshita's treatise，extensive extracts from his autocommentary，and the first complete translation of the primary Geluk commentary on Shantarakshita's treatise，Gyal-tsab Je's Remembering [Shantarakshita's] 'The Ornament of the Middle Way.'
This study is an invaluable contribution to the West's understanding of the history of Madhyamaka both in India and Tibet. Blumenthal's analysis of the Geluk materials on Shantarakshita's thought are particularly insightful. |
