Dharmasamgrahah, Tibetan-Sanskrit -English

Nagarjuna wrote this text, which is an authentic collection of Buddhist technical terms. The text has a collection of 140 technical terminologies collected according to the grouping of the contents. Most of these technical terminologies are from Sutra and philosophical terminology, but there is a little scope for such terms related to Tantra.

Dialectical Method of Nagarjuna: Vigrahavyartani
|
|
Our Price: $7.40
|
|
|
Through only a ‘minor work’ in form, as regards its contents the Vigrahavyavartani is a fundamental text of Madhyamaka, as well as of the early Indian dialectical tradition. Not only does it admirably illustrate the dialectical method followed by Nagarjuna, the founder of the school, but it also clarifies the idea of Voidness (Sunyata) which has been so often misunderstood, not only in modern times and abroad, but in India itself and in Nagarjuna’s own time.
Written after Nagarjuna’s major work, the Madhyamakakarikas, the Vigrahavyavartani is undoubtedly ‘one of his best works and shows him in all that is peculiar of him, above all in his imperturbable consistency’, as E. Frauwallner said.
Long lost in India, this text was fortunately discovered by Rahula Sankrtyayana in a Tibetan monastery. The book includes the text both in Devanagari and Roman scripts edited by E. H. Johnston and Arnold Kunst along with an English translation which follows the text closely and as literally as possible, and Notes that clarify its technicalities.

Emptiness Appraised
By: Burton, David
|
|
Our Price: $19.50
|
|
|
A Critical Study of Nagarjuna's Philosophy
This book argues that though Nagarjuna advocates the Middle Way between nihilism and eternalism, his philosophy of emptiness nevertheless entails nihilism. Burton also refutes the interpretation that Nagarjuna is a skeptic, and examines Nagarjuna's notion of non-conceptual knowledge of reality. In addition, Nagarjuna's critiques of the Nyaya theory of knowledge (pramana) are critically scrutinized.

Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika

His many works include texts addressed to lay audiences, letters of advice to kings, and a set of penetrating metaphysical and epistemological treatises.

In Praise of Dharmadhatu
By: Nagarjuna & Third Karmapa
|
Our Price: $29.95
Sale Price: $23.96
You Save $5.99!
|
|
|
This book is primarily about buddha nature--called dharmadhatu
here--the potential in all living beings to awaken to their mind's
primordial true nature, thus freeing themselves and others from
suffering. The great Buddhist master Na-ga-rjuna shows how buddha
nature exists in all beings, is temporarily obscured, and can be
revealed in its full bloom. The emphasis is on the actual experience of
mind's vivid wakefulness.
The themes of this text are brought to
a deeper level by the inclusion of a translation of its earliest, most
extensive commentary by the Third Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje (1284-1339).
His distinct positions on buddha nature and the transformation of
consciousness into enlightened wisdom also serve as the fundamental
view for the entire vajrayana as understood and practiced in the Kagyu
tradition to the present day.

Nagarjuna and the Philosophy of Openness
By: Nancy McCagney
|
|
Our Price: $39.95
|
|
|
In this innovative study of the philosopher Nagarjuna, Nancy McCagney demonstrates that the concept of space ("akasa") in early Indian Mahayana Buddhism is the root metaphor for Nagarjuna's understanding of "sunyata", or openness. Nagarjuna's use of the term "sunyata" was new, and contrasted with the word's use in Pali Buddhist literature. By using the word to mean "openness," Nagarjuna was able to elucidate, through a deeper analysis of impermanence, a consistent philosophical foundation for the truth and efficacy of Gautama's Middle Way. McCagney's book will be important for those studying Indian philosophy, Buddhism, and the philosophy of religion.

Nagarjuna The Central Philosophy Basic Verses
|
|
Our Price: $28.95
|
|
|
In this breakthrough translation, Nagarjuna, the early Buddhist philosopher, attempts to show that reality cannot be reduced to conceptual structures because thought and conceptualizaton belong to the field of mental presentation and are therefore fantasy. Reality, on the contrary, is what is experienced, and for that very reason, cannot be thought. A work of enormous impact on the history of Buddhist thought in East Asia, Nagarjuna demonstrates the absurdity of concepts such as substance, causality, and the idea of movement. Much like the Western philosopher Kant, he shows the limits of human understanding, and in doing so, creates room for religious experience.

Nagarjuna's Letter to a Friend with Commentary by Kyabje Kangyur Rinpoche

Our Price: $22.95
Sale Price: $18.36

|
|
The great Indian Buddhist master Nagarjuna (1st - 2nd century A.D.) wrote his celebrated poem Letter to a Friend as a letter of advice to a king with whom he was friendly. Despite its short length (only 123 verses), it is a monument in the Indian Buddhist tradition. It covers the whole Mahayana path with unusual clarity and memorable imagery, and it is for this reason that it is widely quoted by Tibet's great masters and scholars in the many commentaries they have written on the Buddhist path. The poem's condensed style and concentration of technical subjects, however, make it difficult to understand for the average reader, and much of it requires a certain amount of explanation if its message is to be conveyed fully.
Kyabje Kangyur Rinpoche's commentary, though not particularly long, provides such an explanation and at the same time furnishes a useful structural outline.
This book will appeal to any reader with interest in Mahayana Buddhism and the great classics of Indian Buddhist literature.

Nagarjunian Disputations

Our Price: $22.00

The present work is a defence of the earlier nihilist interpretation (NI) of the Madhyamika against some of the leading non-nihilist interpretation (NNI) that have arisen to challenge it in recent times. This defence is conducted on two fronts. First, as a purely exegetical matter, it will be argued that the NI fits the Madhyamika writings better than the NNI. Secondly, it will be argued that the NNIs are not, as they are often claimed to be, more defensible on philosophical grounds.

A Great Commentary on Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika
Tsong kha pa (14th century) is arguably the most important and influential philosopher in Tibetan history. An Ocean of Reasoning is the most extensive and perhaps the deepest extant commentary on Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika (Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way), and it can be argued that it is impossible to discuss Nagarjuna's work in an informed way without consulting it.
