		Chandrakirti was born in Samanta (or Samana) in southern India sometime in the seventh century.
		Chandrakirti represented the monastic ideal and the fullest control of the mind, "the great Slayer of the Real", whilst Chandragomin represented the generosity of heart which arises from devotion to the Bodhisattva vow, though both men mingled profound intelligence and selfless service.
		Chandrakirti understood that Nagarjuna's dialectic could lead the intellectually unwary into philosophical nihilism, but he believed that the fundamental insight of Nagarjuna's approach was the recognition that no formulation could be true, and that any affirmation of doctrine is ultimately misleading and a hindrance on the path to Enlightenment.

		Chandrakirti describes the purpose of Nagarjuna’s Treatise as being a hermeneutical one, to determine the interpretable and the definitive amongst passages of scripture.
		Chandrakirti continues to press his attack on a fabricated nature by arguing against the notion that heat is the nature of fire.
		Chandrakirti expands upon this description of a nature by asserting that a nature is that which is the innermost entity of a thing, the entity that is the "mine" of something.173.

		Chandrakirti concludes his brief discussion of the fourth ground by asserting that this bodhisattva has now extinguished the coarser conceptions that are related to an incorrect view of the self.
		Chandrakirti says that the bodhisattva on the fifth ground, the Difficult to Overcome, cannot be defeated by all the demons that block his progress towards higher rebirth and liberation.
		Chandrakirti's verses related to the sixth ground, the Manifest, are an extensive and elaborate explanation of the perfection of wisdom intended specifically to firmly establish in reasoning the Prasangika Madhyamika point of view regarding the ultimate truth of selflessness of both phenomena and persons as taught by Arya Nagarjuna.

	Nirvana Sutra :: Appreciation of the "Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra"
		When Chandrakirti argues that Madhyamikas (followers of Madhyamaka Buddhism) are not the same as nihilists, this is not to be taken literally.
		Chandrakirti expects his intelligent reader to be alive to this.
		Thus Chandrakirti is teaching — for those who do not get mired in the literal, overt levels of his text but who understand the “deep structure” of the metaphorics of his discourse - that Madhyamaka is actually the truth of nihilism and that it rejects even causes and conditions as anything meaningful or real.

		This is how Avalokitavrata presents the functions of the three I-principles; however, Tsong Khapa, in his commentary on Chandrakirti’s Supplement, and Gyel-tsap, in his commentary on Dharmakirti’s Ascertainment of Valid Cognition (Pramanavinishchaya), say that the dark I-principle is the motivator and the motile I-principle is the source of the five subtle elements.

		The title of Chandrakirti's work, in fact, could more elaborately be translated as "Introduction to Nagarjuna's Root Verses on the Middle Way".
		Chandrakirti lays out in a much simpler way the fundamental wisdom of emptiness and conjoins his explanation with the perfection of the paramitas of the "method" aspect -- generosity and so on.
		Still, Chandrakirti's volume could hardly be called "Emptiness for Dummies" -- it is still a challenging text, and this is what makes the accompanying commentary by Ju Mipham so invaluable.

		Chandrakirti, whom we heard reference to earlier, was a student in the lineage of Nagarjuna, and was enormously famous in his own time in India as a scholar and master of the Middle Way teachings.
		Chandrakirti, as was mentioned earlier, wrote the text known as the Madyamikavattara, "The Entrance into the Middle Way", which, from our point of view, is perhaps the definitive work on the Middle Way philosophy.
		The teachings of Nagarjuna, Chandrakirti, and the middle way school are primarily concerned with the fundamental nature of reality in the ultimate sense - the fact that conventional phenomena arise in interdependence and are by their very nature empty of ultimate reality.

		In any case, the family Chandrakirti was born in was a Buddhist family, which meant that from childhood onwards he was in contact with such teachings and his tendencies of bodhicitta from previous lifetimes awakened very early.
		Chandrakirti was a great master who had direct realization of the true nature of reality, of emptiness.
		It is said that Chandrakirti through his great realization was able to live for a period of 300 years, in other words he was able to prolong his lifespan.

		Master Chandrakirti perceived that, among the commentators on the Wisdom, it was Master Buddhapalita who most completely elucidated the intention of the noble ones.
		Therefore, since I see the explanations of these two masters, Buddhapalita and Chandrakirti, as very much superior in explaining the treatises of the Noble Father and Son, I will follow them here in determining their intention.
		As Chandrakirti says in the Lucid Exposition: "Buddhas are renowned in this world as regulating the activities of people by their nine modes of teaching such as Sutras, based on the two realities.

		Chandrakirti inherited the doctrine of Buddhapalita and criticized the doctrine of Bhavaviveka, thus completing the doctrine of the Prasangika school.

		Chandrakirti explains that if the aggregates of the person were the object of our innate grasping at the self of a person, then we should be able to perceive our aggregates as being I, which we are not able to do.
		Chandrakirti gives the example of how the existence of a chariot depends upon the collection of its various parts.
		Chandrakirti continues, "In the same way, we speak of a sentient being conventionally, in dependence upon its aggregates." So, we should understand that a person also depends upon his or her collection of aggregates.

		THIS COMMENTARY on Chandrakirti’s Madhyamakavatara was compiled from the notes and oral teachings of Kunkhyen Lama Mipham by Kathok Situ Rinpoche and Khenpo Kunzang Pelden at the request of Shechen Gyaltsap Rinpoche.
		Since the translation of Chandrakirti required constant reference to an authoritative source, we decided to make a complete translation of Mipham Rinpoche’s commentary as well and to offer it here as a key to understanding the general meaning of the root text.
		Its literary expression, whether in the translations of traditional texts or in the expositions of Western scholars, is dry and daunting and often presupposes a knowledge that the general reader and practitioner does not possess or have time to acquire.
