Any recommendations for specific books/translators/authors/etc for getting to know these two figures and their thought?
Much appreciated.

For Dignaga, the best scholarly work on this atm is:
Richard P. Hayes - Dignaga on the Interpretation of Signs

It is quite impossible to find the Buddha anywhere other than in one's own mind.
A person who is ignorant of this may seek externally,
but how is it possible to find oneself through seeking anywhere other than in oneself?
Someone who seeks their own nature externally is like a fool who, giving a performance in the middle of a crowd, forgets who he is and then seeks everywhere else to find himself.
