The University of Nalanda c10.137

c10.137

The importance of *Tattvasaṅgraha* can never be overestimated. Concerned as we are with the studies of Nālandā, the work is a very useful finger-post. It points to the fact that Nālandā was not only a Buddhist University, but a University in which all the subjects Buddhist as well as non-Buddhist were taught. Moreover, refutation of so many schools of thought pre-supposes a previous study of them by the teachers as well as the students, who, as we can see from Kamalaśīla's commentary, were required to explain and elucidate what their teachers said briefly and concisely.
