 This event caused some controversy and Chokden answered his own questions in his subsequent "Golden lancet".Sakya Chokden's "Definite ascertainment of the middle way" criticized Tsongkhapa's Madhyamaka views as being too logo-centric and still caught up in conceptualization about the ultimate reality which is beyond language.In his later years, Sakya Chokden moved away from a strictly Prasangika Madhyamika view (as held by Chandrakirti) and adopted a kind of Shentong (emptiness of other) view influenced by the works of Asanga, Vasubandhu and Maitreya-nātha.
