ultimate truth
Although his interest in Mahāyāna texts and doctrines was broad, his primary concerns fell in the areas of Yogâcāra 唯識 and Tathāgatagarbha 如來藏 thought, which he tended to treat together as part of a single broad tradition. While responsible for many of the earlier translations of Yogâcāra texts, the extent of his influence by Tathāgatagarbha thought led to a blending of these two doctrinal streams in his writings, which in turn brought a profound and lasting impact on the subsequent trajectory of these "mind-only" schools of thought in East Asian Buddhism. On the other hand, during the next century East Asian Yogâcāra scholars such as Xuanzang 玄奘 came to doubt the faithfulness of some of his translations to the original Yogâcāra doctrine, a fact which motivated Xuanzang to personally go to India to obtain copies of Sanskrit original works. Paramârtha spent the last years of his life in the region of Canton. Also commonly referred to as 眞諦三藏. The most thorough treatment of Paramârtha's life and works in English is that by Diana Paul, listed below. His name is transliterated as 波羅末陀.
The Monk Zhigai (6th c.) of Yangzhou's 揚州僧智愷 Preface to the Awakening of Faith gives the name as Gou-lan-nan-duo 拘蘭難陀, which would be Kulānanda. 三藏拘蘭難陀,譯名眞諦
