Uma-Gyen

The Ornament of the Middle Way (Skt. Madhyamālaṃkāra; Tib. Uma Gyen; Wyl. dbu ma rgyan) was written by Shantarakshita in the 9th century C.E., the great Indian scholar who assisted Guru Padmasambhava in introducing Buddhism to Tibet and founding the famous monastery of Samyé.

Mipham Academy has been studying this text at Karme Choling, using the 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.
