Madhyamaka

Madhyamaka, a key Buddhist philosophy, teaches that all things are ultimately empty of inherent existence, meaning they lack a fixed, independent nature. Instead, everything arises dependent on causes, conditions, and relations. This view helps reduce attachment and misconception, leading to greater wisdom and compassion. Rather than denying reality, Madhyamaka highlights the interconnectedness and fluidity of existence, encouraging a balanced perspective that avoids extremes of permanence and nihilism. It emphasizes understanding that reality is complex and interconnected, inspiring practitioners to cultivate wisdom and diminish suffering.
