Shantarakshita

Shantarakshita is not to be confused with the current-day head of the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order, who has a similar name. Shantarakshita, also known as "Khenpo Bodhisattva" and the "Abbot Shantarakshita", was a great Indian Buddhist scholar who went to Tibet at the request of King Trisong Deutsen. He helped introduce Buddhism to Tibet along with Guru Rinpoche, Vimalamitra, and others.

No text by Shantarakshita is known by us to have been translated into a European language, but there is an interesting and engaging discussion of his views of the theory of language, Apoha, and how it relates to and/or influences the Indian tradition of Buddhism expressed by Dharmakirti, Dignaga, Kamalasila, Jnanasrimitra and Ratnakirti, as well as how his views have influenced the Tibetan Tradition of Buddhism.

The discussion refered to above is by Georges B.J. Dreyfus in his excellent book Recognizing Reality: Dharmakiri's Philosophy and its Tibetan Interpretations, State University of New York Press, Albany, 1997

Khenpo Gyurmed Trinley refers to and, via Mipham, makes use of Shantarakshita's Umagen (madhyamakalamkarakarika: Ornament of the Middle Way - see below), in his commentary to "The Precious Lamp of Certain Knowledge" available on this site (Also see bibliography under Mipham).
