Also known as Dipamkarashrijnana (982–1054), abbot of the Indian monastic university of Vikramashila. Philosophically, he is considered to be Prasangika Madhyamika in the school of Chandrakirti, although he also upheld the teachings of the Yogachara Madhyamika. He came to Tibet at the invitation of the king Yeshe O¨ to restore the Buddhadharma after its persecution by Langdarma. He introduced there the Mind Training teachings (blo 'byongs), which he received from his teacher Suvarnadvipa Dharmakirti and which are a synthesis of the bodhichitta traditions of Nagarjuna and Asanga. He was also a master of the tantra teachings. His main disciple and successor was the upasaka Dromto¨n ('brom ston), who founded the Kadampa school and built the monastery of Reting (rwa sgreng). Atisha died at Nyethang in Tibet in 1054 [TPQ, 2010]
