Kamalashila and the Great Debate at Samye
Backby Janet Baird through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org This fine piece offers a snapshot of the great scholar and debater, shaper of Tibetan religion and culture, the Indian philosopher Kamalashila. We hear of his life in the first person, from his perspective. We hear of his accomplishments in Buddhist philosophy and his defeat of the "dread" Hashang Mohoyen (Mahayana) of the Chinese Ch'an tradition. In this India versus China competition, India wins Tibet...at least in the beginning.
