|text=Chapter 9 of Śāntideva's ''Bodhicaryāvatāra'' explores the Perfection of Wisdom (''prajñāpāramitā'') | |text=Chapter 9 of Śāntideva's ''Bodhicaryāvatāra'' explores the Perfection of Wisdom (''prajñāpāramitā'') and examining emptiness (''śūnyatā'') through rigorous philosophical analysis. This chapter sparked centuries of debate within Tibetan Buddhism, particularly between Madhyamaka interpretative schools. Mipham Rinpoche's commentary emphasized the compatibility of Prasaṅgika and Yogācāra views, drawing criticism from Drakar Tulku who defended Tsongkhapa's stricter Prasaṅgika position. Pari Rabsel joined the discourse, questioning aspects of both interpretations and proposing nuanced readings of Śāntideva's intended meaning regarding conventional and ultimate truths in Buddhist soteriology. | ||
