Book Description

About the Book

The text titled Yuktisastikakarika is one of the six treatises on Madhyamaka Philosophy ascribed to Acarya Nagarjuna. Containing a total number of sixty stanzas excluding the words of worship, it mainly explains the impossibility of attaining the state bliss without becoming free from two extremes referring to the extreme of eternalism and the extreme of nihilism. In its beautiful verses of succinct, clear and logical expression, existence and non-existence of phenomena, liberation, samsara, nirvana, extreme etc., are examined in order to establish that emptiness is their essence- a central theme of Madhyamika philosophers.

Introduction

Nāgārjuna, also known as Acārya Nāgārjuna or Arya Nāgārjuna, is renowned in the Mahāyāna Buddhist world as the proponent of the Madhyamika School of Buddhist Philosophy. He was the pioneer of the lineage of profound teachings of emptiness (Skt. Gambhira-drsti-paramparā; Wyl. zab mo lta brgyud), developer of quantum theory and the world-famous pioneer among the seventeen Indian Buddhist Masters. Revered as the second Buddha in the Mahayana Buddhist world, he holds a prominent place among the 'Six Ornaments Beautifying Jambüdvipa (Southern Continent)'. Cultivating his altruistic thought countless kalpas ago, he accumulated merits over numerous kalpas by bringing welfare to limitless sentient beings residing in the inexpressible worldly realms. Finally, he appeared in Jambüdvipa for the purpose of benefiting sentient beings and preserving the sacred Dharma of the Buddha, as prophesized in several sūtras of the Buddha.
