Steven’s Reviews > The Two Truths Debate: Tsongkhapa and Gorampa on the Middle Way > Status Update

As I read, Gorampa's position becomes less and less convincing. If we take all of the metaphysical implications of his philosophy into consideration, it's quite clear that he falls into the trap of nihilism, which Madhyamaka theory explicitly prohibits in the search for emptiness

This book is so well-written and enlightening. In my opinion, of the two thinkers, Gorampa is much less convincing than Tsongkhapa. Some of his phenomenological claims have no precedent in Buddhist canon, whereas Tsongkhapa's views are always backed up by scripture, whether they're from Nagarjuna or from somewhere in the Pali canon
