This event caused some controversy and Chokden answered his own questions in his subsequent "Golden lancet". Sakya Chokden's <i>Definite ascertainment of the middle way</i> criticized <a href="/wiki/Tsongkhapa" class="mw-redirect" title="Tsongkhapa">Tsongkhapa</a>'s Madhyamaka views as being too logo-centric and still caught up in conceptualization about the ultimate reality which is beyond language.<sup id="cite_ref-Leaman_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Leaman-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In his later years, Sakya Chokden moved away from a strictly <a href="/wiki/Prasangika" class="mw-redirect" title="Prasangika">Prasangika</a> Madhyamika view (as held by <a href="/wiki/Chandrakirti" title="Chandrakirti">Chandrakirti</a>) and adopted a kind of <a href="/wiki/Shentong" class="mw-redirect" title="Shentong">Shentong</a> (emptiness of other) view influenced by the works of <a href="/wiki/Asanga" title="Asanga">Asanga</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vasubandhu" title="Vasubandhu">Vasubandhu</a> and <a href="/wiki/Maitreya-n%C4%81tha" title="Maitreya-nātha">Maitreya-nātha</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Leaman_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Leaman-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>His later work attempted to reconcile the philosophies of <a href="/wiki/Yogacara" class="mw-redirect" title="Yogacara">Yogacara</a> and <a href="/wiki/Madhyamaka" title="Madhyamaka">Madhyamaka</a> as valid and complementary perspectives on Ultimate Truth. Chokden saw the Yogacara "Alikakaravada" view as also being a form of Madhyamaka because it holds that mental objects are ultimately unreal or false (<i>alika</i>) and worked to prove its compatibility with the Madhyamaka Nihsvabhavavada view (emptiness of inherent existence).<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Madhyamaka is seen by Chokden as removing the fault of taking the unreal as being real, and Yogacara removes the fault of the denial of Reality.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Likewise, the <a href="/wiki/Shentong" class="mw-redirect" title="Shentong">Shentong</a> and <a href="/wiki/Rangtong" class="mw-redirect" title="Rangtong">Rangtong</a> views are seen as complementary by Sakya Chokden; Rangtong negation is effective in cutting through all clinging to wrong views and conceptual rectification while Shentong is more amenable for describing and enhancing meditative experience and realization.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Therefore, for Sakya Chokden, the same realization of ultimate reality can be accessed and described in two different but compatible ways.
