bio	Eugene Obermiller (1901-1935), as a Buddhist scholar, inherited the tradition of Ivan Minayev (1840-1890), the founder of Russian school of Indology and Buddhist studies through his teacher Fyodor Ippolitvich Shcherabatskoy (1866-1942), who was a pupil of Minayev. After obtaining his Ph. D. from the University of Leningrad, he joined Academy of Sciences at Leningrad as a Under Secretary to the Director of the Bibliotheca Buddhica. His published works include the translation of Bu-ston's Tibetan History of Buddhism (1932) in two volumes. He also translated Uttaratantra or Ratnagotravibhaga (of Maitreya Asaṅga) from Tibetan and published it in 1932. Obermiller's another important work is the Sanskrit text and Tibetan translation of the Abhisamayālamkara, which he undertook as joint venture with his teacher Shcherabatskoy and published it in 1929. He also contributed papers to Indian Historical Quarterly.

The Ultimate Continuum, or Gyü Lama, is often used as a short title in the Tibetan tradition for the key source text of buddha-nature teachings called the Ratnagotravibhāga of Maitreya/Asaṅga, also known as the Mahāyānottaratantraśāstra.

Go to the page with the definition of 'Uttaratantra'

The six or ten types of practices which lead an individual to Buddhahood. The practice of perfections is particularly important in Mahāyāna Buddhism in which the entire path of the Bodhisattva to reach full enlightenment is included in the six or ten perfections. The six perfections are that of giving, of discipline, patience, zeal, meditation, and wisdom. The perfection of skill-in-means, aspirations, power, and pristine wisdom are added to them to make ten perfections.
