Chandrakirti [zla ba grags pa] (Wylie transliterized) Candrakīrti (Sanskrit) This 7th century Indian scholar of the Madhyamaka school of thought defended Buddhapālita against Bhāvaviveka, criticizing the latter’s acceptance of autonomous syllogism. As a result of Candrakīrti's interpretation of Nāgārjuna's view, a new school of Madhyamaka known as Prasangika (‘Consequentialist’). Chandrakirti’s works include the Prasannapadā - a Sanskrit term, meaning Clear Words' - the highly acclaimed commentary on Nagarjuna’s Mūlamadhyamakakārikā and the Madhyamakāvatāra (his supplement to Nāgārjuna’s text) and its auto-commentary.

The Madhyamakāvatāra is used as the main sourcebook by most of the Tibetan monastic colleges in their studies of 'emptiness' (Sanskrit: śūnyatā) and the philosophy of the Madhyamaka school. Fenner (1983: p. 251) states that: In the seventh-century Buddhist tract Madhyamakāvatāra (Introduction to the Middle Way...) Candrakīrti establishes the Mādhyamika system of thought by refuting the tenets of various Buddhist and non-Buddhist philosophies. In the course of these refutations he criticizes the Vijñānavāda or Idealist school of Buddhism.
