While his best-known work on the bodhicitta vow is A Clear Differentiation of the Three Codes (Sdom gsum rab dbye), which is still widely studied in the Sakya tradition, the SKCG is unique in its advocacy for a clear differentiation between two textual traditions of the ritual for taking the bodhicitta vow—namely, the Cittamātra tradition and the Madhyamaka tradition. This notion—and, in particular, Sakya Paṇḍita's presentation—has had a lasting impact up to the present day for members of the Sakya school as well as followers of other schools.
