Arya Vimuktisena

Arya Vimuktisena (Tib. Pakpa Namdroldé; ‘phags pa rnam grol sde) - Vasubandhu had four great disciples who more learned in certain topics than himself. Of these, Arya Vimuktisena was more learned on the topic of the prajnaparamita. Vimuktisena was the nephew of the great master Buddhadasa. He reached the bodhisattva level of Perfect Joy and having received instructions on the prajnaparamita directly from the Buddha, composed his great commentary. His foremost student was Bhante Vimuktisena.
