jo nang;Jonang;jonang;Name of a school whose philosophical viewpoint and practices date back to Yumo Mikyö Dorje, a great master of Kālacakra who established, in accordance with his teachings, the perspective of great Madhyamaka, or Yogācāra-Madhayamaka-Shentong. This view goes beyond the divergences between dialectical Prāsaṅgika and the Yogācāra experience, and is a synthesis of the two great Mahāyāna philosophical perspectives. Kunpang Thuje Tsöndru (1243-?), a holder of the lineage, established its seat in the Tsang province at Jomonang monastery which gave the school its name. His great disciple, the omniscient Dölpo Sherab Gyaltsen (1292-1361), greatly spread the Madhyamaka Shentong perspective in the provinces of Ü and Tsang. He composed numerous works including ''The Ocean of Definitive Meaning (ri chos nges don rgya mtsho)'' which explains the Madhyamaka Shentong perspective. The lineage continued without interruption;among its members there were Jonang Kunga Drölcho (1495-1566), who received revelations from Niguma, and particularly the omniscient Jetsün Drolwe Gönpo, known by the name of Taranatha (1575—1634), who founded the monastery of Taten Puntsoling. In the seventeenth century, political problems caused the Jonang monasteries to become Gelug, but the teachings of the school continued to be transmitted and practiced while being incorporated into other lineages, and particularly to the Shangpa-Kagyu transmission. +
