Dear Friends of the Ripa International Sangha,

Buddhist Philosophy: Part III

The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way
Based on Acharya Nagarjuna’s text

With Khenpo Tenzin Wangdue

The Mülamadhyamakakärikä is the most famous work of the great Acharya Nagarjuna, one of the main founders of the Madhyamaka School of Mahayana Buddhism. The central topic of this text is the understanding of emptiness of self and all phenomena, which are devoid of inherent existence and interdependently originated.

At a time when the practice of meditation is becoming mainstream in the West, these teachings are especially recommended as a way to deepen the understanding of the Buddhist philosophical principles that underpin the practice of meditation, the understanding of the mind and the nature of reality.
