''Ocean of Definitive Meaning: A Teaching for the Mountain Hermit'' (), written in the first half of the 14th century, is considered the magnum opus of Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen (1292–1361).〔Newland, Guy (1992). ''The Two Truths: in the Mādhyamika Philosophy of the Ge-luk-ba Order of Tibetan Buddhism''. Ithaca, New York, USA: Snow Lion Publications. ISBN 0-937938-79-3, p.29〕 The ''Ocean of Definitive Meaning'' is a hermeneutical text on the issue of the doctrine of the Three Turnings of the Wheel of Dharma that was first codified in the ''Sandhinirmocana Sutra''. The ''Ocean of Definitive Meaning'' conveys a specific reading, understanding and interpretation of śūnyatā and Buddha-nature, of the second and third turnings of the wheel respectively. Both Śūnyatā and Tathāgata-garbha are central and key principles of Mahayana Buddhism. This specific reading of Śūnyatā and Tathāgata-garbha and the philosophical view behind it, became known as shentong, the key tenet of the Jonang school. Dölpopa’s thought in this work is a hermeneutics of the Mahayana Buddhist texts and develops teachings of Maitreya and Yogacara masters Asanga (4th century) and his brother Vasubandhu (4th century). For 150 years prior to the sacking of the Jonang monasteries by the Gelugpa, the ''Ocean of Definitive Meaning'' was banned within the grounds of Gelug monasteries.〔Newland, Guy (1992).
