| Biography/History note | Taktsang Lotsāwa Sherab Rinchen b.1405-d.1477 BDRC P79; Taktsang Lotsāwa Sherab Rinchen was a polymath scholar-monk of the Sakya tradition. Active during a great period of classical scholarship and translation, he was a prolific commentator on a wide range of topics, with special focus on medicine, poetry, Vinaya, and Kālacakra. Like many scholastic monks of his time, Taktsang embarked on a period of study that was peripatetic in terms of both geography and sectarian affiliation. From Tobgyel, Taktsang went to a monastery in Tsang called Chokhor (chos 'khor), where he studied, under Khenrab Wangchuck Dragpa Zangpo. Towards the end of 1431, he left Chokhor for Drepung Monastery ('bras spungs dgon) and studied under its founder, Jamyang Tashi Pelden. In the autumn of 1436, Taktsang went to Zhalu (zha lu), where he met a "great scholar of scholars," Wangchuk Sonam Rinchen Pel (dbang phyug bsod nams rin chen 'phel, d.u.), from whom he requested teachings on Kālacakra. He is said to have had an encyclopedic knowledge of not only the five topics of monastic study but also the five major fields of traditional learning. However, he is perhaps best known for his critique of Tsongkhapa's interpretation of Madhyamaka in his philosophical treatise, Knowing All Philosophical Systems, which generated centuries of often polemical Geluk-Sakyapa debate.
