中论（Mulamadhyamakakarika）

简介

About 450 verses in Sanskrit, arranged in 27 chapters, each of which examines a basic concept: causation, motion, the senses, the self, time, suffering, nirvana. The method is to show that every way of taking something as having intrinsic existence leads to contradiction. Chapter 24 answers the objection that emptiness destroys the Four Noble Truths and identifies emptiness with dependent origination. The terse verses are almost always read with commentaries, above all that of Chandrakirti (7th century). Kumarajiva’s Chinese translation of 409 and the Tibetan versions made the work foundational for Madhyamaka in East Asia and Tibet.
