Madhyamakalankara (The Adornment of the Middle Way) by Indian Mahasiddha Shantarakshita (8th century) effects a synthesis between the Madhyamaka of Nagarjuna, the Mind-Only or Yogachara (Cittamatra) teachings traced back to Asanga, and the logico-epistemolological tradition of Dignaga and Dharmakirti. This great work marks the final stage in the evolution of Madhyamaka and was the last major development of Buddhist philosophy in India. Toward the end of the 19th century, the Tibetan scholar, Jamgon Mipham, composed the commentary on this commentary. We will use as text the translation by the Padmakara Translation Group as The Adornment of the Middle Way.
