The Protagonists of the Debates on the Wisdom Chapter
Chapter 9 of Śāntideva's Bodhicaryāvatāra explores the Perfection of Wisdom (prajñāpāramitā) and examines 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 Prāsaṅgika and Yogācāra views, drawing criticism from Drakar Tulku, who defended Tsongkhapa's stricter Prāsaṅgika 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.
Contextualizing the Debates
This article explores and contextualizes the philosophical debates between Mipham Rinpoche, representing the Nyingma tradition, and Geluk scholars like Drakar Tulku and Pari Lobsang Rabsel in nineteenth-century Tibet.
Mapping the Debates Between Mipham and Geluk Scholars
Explore key points of contention such as the nature of the two truths, the object of negation in Madhyamaka reasoning, the realization of emptiness by arhats, and the relationship between the six perfections on the bodhisattva path.
