Kashmiri Trika is not and never has been influenced by Shankara's Kevela
Advaita.
Kashmere Trika was incorporated into the Madukya Upanishad, Gaudapada and
Shankara. In fact, many of the terms used in Kashmere Shaivism mean the

According to Vaj, the Advaita Vedanta of Shankara is largely a Vedic purist
reaction to the teaching of Nagarjuna. In fact, Shankara was accused of
In Tibetan Buddhism, Nagarjuna is the most important philosophical figure. It
is like Thomas Aquinas for Roman Catholics. Madhyamaka is the basis for
understanding Buddhism and Vijñanavada is a close correlate.
Contrary to the Tibetans, Madhyamaka is not given the same exalted status in

I have already provided a scholarly synopsis of the real differences between
Shankara's Advaita and Vijñanavada Buddhism. Many times I have also explained
how and why Shankara refuted the same.
