Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika

Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika is a foundational Buddhist text that explores the nature of reality, emphasizing its emptiness. It argues that all phenomena lack inherent, fixed existence and are interconnected, arising dependently on causes and conditions. This understanding helps reduce attachment and ignorance, leading to liberation. The text employs logical analysis and paradoxes to show that things are neither entirely real nor completely non-existent, encouraging a middle way. Overall, it provides a philosophical framework to see beyond illusions, fostering wisdom and compassion in the pursuit of enlightenment.
