Buddhaguhya

Throughout his career he taught at multiple locations including the monastery of Nālandā[2] and Vārāṇasī, and spent time in meditation near Mount Kailash.

[1] The details of Buddhaguhya's life start to emerge in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, hundreds of years after his death and therefore cannot be historically verified.

This was mainly detailed in the hagiographical writings of Tibetan authors like Longchenpa, Chomden Rigpe Raldri, Buton Rinchen Drub and Taranatha.

[4] As per Taranatha, Buddhaguhya travelled with another monk called Buddhaśānta to Mount Potalaka in Tamil Nadu, the supposed residence of the bodhisattva, Avalokiteśvara.

Disappointed, as they descended the mountain, the deity Tara is said to have appeared before them in the form of an old woman and instructed the pair of them to practice meditation in Mount Kailash.
