Graham MacDonald, who have supported this endeavour from the start with unflagging interest, munificence and encouragement. 10 Ibid., 27. 11 Vose (ibid.) speaks of 1000 CE as being the time that Candrakīrti's works began to receive more attention but is aware that Prajñākaramati was also active in the 10th c. (he dates him 950-1030). 12 I shall not go into a detailed discussion of the matter on this occasion.

Sanskrit manuscripts in China III. Proceedings of a panel at the 2016 Beijing International Seminar on Tibetan Studies, August 1 to 4, 2020

Although a number of English translations have appeared, a philologically reliable yet readable English rendering of the MMK has remained a desideratum. A new translation by Mark Siderits and Shōryū Katsura now supersedes Jay Garfield’s previously popular MMK translation, which, made in reliance on only the Tibetan version of the MMK, is often problematic (The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way, Oxford, 1995). Siderits’ and Katsura’s attempt to improve upon previous translations of the MMK was recently acknowledged by the Khyentse Foundation, which at the 17th Congress of the International Association of Buddhist Studies awarded them its 2014 “Prize for Outstanding Translation.”

The individual(s) in question, whose fundamental ontological views are made evident in the passage's opening objection as presented by Candrakīrti, has/have alternatively been identified as the Mādhyamika Bhāviveka, as representatives of the Naiyāyika school and, following Stcherbatsky, as Dignāga and/or later members of his epistemological-logical tradition. Although textual evidence adduced by authors of recent publications has been viewed as supportive of the hypothesis that the interlocutor is Dignāga, the general nature of this evidence and awareness of Dignāga's ontological presuppositions suggest that the matter requires reconsideration.
