Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The Chan Ssu Lun of the Chinese Madhyamaka school identifies two different individuals given the name "Shantideva": the founder of the Avaivartika Sangha in the 6th century, and a later Shantideva who studied at Nalanda in the 8th century who appears to be the source of the Tibetan biographies. Archaeological discoveries support this thesis.[1][2] Two Tibetan sources of the life of Shantideva are the historians Butön and Jetsün T ran tha. Recent scholarship has brought to light a short Sanskrit life of Shantideva in a 14th-century Nepalese manuscript. An accessible account that follows the Butön closely can be found in Kunzang Pelden, The Nectar of Manjushri's speech. Shantideva was born in the Saurastra (in modern Gujarat), the son of the King Kalyanavarman and he went by the name Shantivarman.
