Shantarakshita, author of the Madhyamakalankara

Madhyamakalankara (Skt. Madhyamālaṃkāra; Tib. Uma Gyen; wyl. dbu ma rgyan) - The Ornament of the Middle Way was written by Shantarakshita, the great Indian scholar who assisted Guru Padmasambhava in introducing Buddhism to Tibet and founding the famous monastery of Samyé. There is a famous commentary by Mipham Rinpoche, his most comprehensive work on Madhyamika, which brilliantly sets out the unique Nyingma view bringing together themes from the Middle Way and the Mind Only schools.
