Je Tsong Khapa
Lobsang Drakpa
(1357-1419)
“Though I had worked hard on the treatises of Sutra and Tantra and I was practicing and teaching the impact of the profound, I saw that my view had not advanced far beyond the view that has learned nothing and nothing knows. So then I studied thoroughly all the essential keys that bring out the authentic view, which I found on the path of subtle philosophy that examines the profound, especially in the scientific treatises of Nagarjuna; and I resolved all my doubts completely! Thinking this over, how well my destiny was fulfilled! Thank you so much, O Holy Wisdom Treasure!”
