| | Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika Page I |
 | | Nagarjuna was both a Buddhist monk and an apologist for Buddhism. | | | Finally, the Indian, Chinese, and Tibetan traditions are all unanimous in considering the karika as Nagarjuna's magnum opus. | | | The obscurity of such a statement is not the fault of the translation; the above is perhaps the clearest translation of this verse available. |

| | Nagarjuna: A Good Friend |
| | Nagarjuna actually wrote two letters, the texts which I mentioned earlier, that is the Suhrillekha and the Ratnavali and both to the same person, his friend, the king Gautamiputra of Andhra. | | | Nagarjuna is careful to urge the king to have the centers of the Dharma he supports administered by worthy persons who are capable of overseeing their day to day functioning with honesty and devotion [31]. | | | The Tibetan and Mongolian traditions regard him as the founder of one of the most important philosophical systems of the Mahayana, that is the Madhyamaka and the Ch'an and Zen traditions regard him as one of the earliest of their patriarchs. |

| | ENLIGHTENMENT AND TIME:
AN EXAMINATION OF NAGARJUNA'S CONCEPT OF TIME |
| | Nagarjuna closes the MMK with a final chapter reaffirming the "correctness" Buddha's silence on the issue of the survival of the soul after death. | | | Nagarjuna's attempt to show the identity of samsara and nirvana rests on his showing the unintelligibility of causality. | | | Nagarjuna has a secondary purpose that lies behind the MMK, and this also must be understood in a religious context: Nagarjuna wanted to refute the materialist ideas of the Abhidharma schools and return Buddhism to what he thought was the Middle Way. |

| | Nagarjuna's task was to expound the negativist doctrine of Prajna Paramita and to establish that it was the efflorescence of the original. | | | The Sceptre of Wisdom [Prajnadanda], attributed to Nagarjuna in Tibetan tradition, is a sceptre of niti [morality] for householders. | | | Nagarjuna's Friendly Epistle [Suhrillekha] intended to enlightent the Satavahana king no doctrinal matter is confined to the first stage of sadhana and even as that it is largely a moral exhortation of non-denominational character. |

| | The occasion for Nagarjuna's "conversion" to Buddhism is uncertain. | | | Nagarjuna then was a fairly active author, addressing the most pressing philosophical issues in the Buddhism and Brahmanism of his time, and more than that, carrying his Buddhist ideas into the fields of social, ethical and political philosophy. | | | Nagarjuna was to undertake a forceful engagement of both these new Brahminical and Buddhist movements, an intellectual endeavor till then unheard of. |

| | 20th WCP: Cognitive Scepticism Of Nagarjuna |
| | Nagarjuna's main concern here is not to say that what we know about the world is false; rather he maintains that the knowledge claims made by the cognitivists (Naiyayikas and others) are not supported by adequate logical grounds. | | | Nagarjuna's sceptical arguments egarly point out that such soteriological assertions on the basis of empirical foundation of epistomological 'superstructure' are unwarrented. | | | It is here Nagarjuna tries to point out faults and in 'Vigrahavyavartani' he devotes six verses in order to show that the analogy of light or fire is quite incapable of serving as a 'sapaksa' in the cognitivists' arguments. |

| | Nagarjuna reverts to what he sees as the original teaching of the Buddha, and certainly not to the 'Hinayana'-developments of it. | | | The philosopher Nagarjuna is the first Buddhist thinker with a vision that transcends the "theological" i.e. | | | The traditional transmission within Hinayana rejects the propositions of Nagarjuna (not withstanding the influence they had on their teachings); in Mahayana on the other hand, Nagarjuna is looked upon as the 'second Buddha' who "set the Wheel of the Dharma in motion for the second time." In some cases Nagarjuna was even deified ! |

| | Nagarjuna’s writings are found abundantly among the commentarial literature of Buddhists up to the present. | | | In this text, Nagarjuna, apart from explaining the importance of the accumulation of Wisdom for the attainment of the Dharmakaya of the Buddha, devotes a great majority of verses to an exposition of relative Bodhicitta or the exposition of Five Paramita or “Perfection”. | | | Nagarjuna clearly states that from the point of view of wisdom there is no difference between three yanas or Vehicle but Buddha elucidated three vehicles only to tame sentient beings. |

| | Nagarjuna was convinced, as a Buddhist, that the salvation of all living beings was at issue... | | | For Nagarjuna, emptiness should not be interpreted ontologically, but rather in the way of the parable of the raft: The Buddhist teaching (especially shunyata), is like the raft one constructs for the crossing of a river. | | | In any case, teachings attributed to Nagarjuna are today still widely followed in all the countries where Mahayana Buddhism is practiced. |

| | Nagarjuna sought to liberate the mind from its tendencies to cling to tidy or clever formulations of truth, because any truth short of Sunyata, the voidness of reality, is inherently misleading. | | | Chandrakirti's remarkable defence of this latter standpoint deeply influenced Tibetan Buddhist traditions as well as those schools of thought that eventually culminated in Japan in Zen. | | | The followers of Bhavaviveka thought that Madhyamika philosophy had a positive content, whilst those who subscribed to Buddhapalita's more severe interpretation said that every standpoint, including their own, could be reduced to absurdity, which fact alone, far more than any positively asserted doctrine, could lead to intuitive insight (prajna) and Enlightenment. |

| | Nagarjuna and the doctrine of "skillful means" |
| | Nagarjuna's reason for presenting these inconsistencies has to do with the way that these Buddhists are explaining meditative praxis. | | | Nagarjuna's problem with this view of praxis is that it contradicts the view that one must meditate on causality in order to attain liberation. | | | The point Nagarjuna is making is that, like the Sarvastivadins, the Sautrantikas are proposing inconsistent views of praxis: they say that one must meditate on causality in order to be liberated, but then deny causality by saying that one must meditate on certain moments (dharmas) that are noncausal. |

| | Megan Howe, Fall 2000 |
| | Nagarjuna, in his Mulamadhyamakakarika, presents many apparently contradictory statements of Buddhist philosophy that challenge the adequacy of language to express out thoughts and beliefs. | | | This seems especially contradictory because Nagarjuna has been asserting throughout his work that everything is ultimately empty; he appears to speak hypocritically by then saying that one should not assert “empty.” Through this contradiction, however, Nagarjuna outlines the distinctions between ultimate truth and conventional truth. | | | Emptiness and the conventional world are, Nagarjuna suggests, two different interpretations of the same thing; something exists from the conventional standpoint, and it is empty from the ultimate view. |

| | An Analysis of Madhyamika Particle Physics |
| | The fundamental goal of Buddhism is to dispel the ignorance that keeps all sentient beings trapped in the cycle of birth, death and re-birth or "Samsara". | | | The concept of "The Middle Way" in Buddhism begins with the Buddha's description of his path to enlightenment as one that avoids the extremes of indulging in worldly pleasures, on the one hand, and engaging in severe ascetic practices on the other. | | | The Middle Way of Madhyamika refers to the teachings of Nagarjuna, who, at a time when the Mahayana (Great Vehicle) teachings were falling into decline, wrote his Six Treatises, four of which directly expound the doctrine of sunyata, or emptiness. |
