    This biography is a copy of a Wikipedia article (from Mar 2024), with minor modifications. See the latest Wikipedia version here.

    Śāntarakṣita (Sanskrit: शान्तरक्षित; Tibetan: ཞི་བ་འཚོ, Wylie: zhi ba tsho,[1] 725–788),[2] whose name translates into English as "protected by the One who is at peace"[3] was an important and influential Indian Buddhist philosopher, particularly for the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.[4] Śāntarakṣita was a philosopher of the Madhyamaka school who studied at Nalanda monastery under Jñānagarbha, and became the founder of Samye, the first Buddhist monastery in Tibet.

    Śāntarakṣita defended a synthetic philosophy which combined Madhyamaka, Yogācāra and the logico-epistemology of Dharmakirti into a novel Madhyamaka philosophical system.[4] This philosophical approach is known as Yogācāra-Mādhyamika or Yogācāra-Svatantrika-Mādhyamika in Tibetan Buddhism.&
