Contact seller5-star seller8vo, pp. 89, [5]; text in Tibetan and English; fine in original printed orange wrappers. Issued as no. 16 in the publisher's Wiener Studien zur Tibetologie und Buddhismuskunde series. Chandrakirti (ca. 600-ca. 650, or "Chandra") was a Buddhist scholar of the Madhyamaka school who was based out of the monastery of Nalanda. He was… a noted commentator on the works of Nagarjuna (ca. 150-ca. 250) and those of his main disciple, Aryadeva. "The paper explores the work of Candrakirti, particularly analyzing his text Trisaranasaptati in relation to concepts of the Three Refuges. It discusses the historical and philosophical context surrounding Candrakirti's contributions to Madhyamaka thought, addressing authenticity and influences from earlier Buddhist texts. The conclusion emphasizes the significance of Candrakirti's interpretations in understanding the development of Buddhist philosophy" (academia[.]edu/10148821).
