 Mulamadhyamakakarika of Nagarjuna
This is a completely new translation of Nagarjuna's major work, the Mulamadhyamakakarika accompanied by a detailed annotation of each of the verses.
The annotation identifies the metaphysical theories of the scholastics criticized by Nagarjuna, and traces the source material and the arguments utilized in his refutation back to the early discourses of the Buddha.
The concluding part of the Introduction compares the teachings of the Buddha and Nagarjuna in regard to epistemology, ontology, ethics and philosophy of language, indicating how the latter was making a determined attempt to reconstruct the Buddha's teachings in a very faithful manner, avoiding substantialist metaphysics of the scholastics.

 Gue Phel Tcheu Tsok - Books on Madhyamika
Shantarakshita set forth the foundation of a syncretic approach to contemporary ideas by synthesizing the three major trends in Indian Buddhist thought at the time (the Madhyamaka thought of Nagarjuna, the Yogachara thought of Asanga, and the logical and epistemological thought of Dharmakirti) into one consistent and coherent system.
Nagarjuna's greatest philosophical work, the Mulamadhyamakakarika, is one of the most influential works on middle way philosophy.

 Common Content: Catalog: Text : Non-Fiction : The Zen Teachings of Nagarjuna
In this essay I will outline some of Nagarjuna’s basic teaching based on his Mulamadhyamakakarika and show the relationship between Nagarjuna’s writings and subsequent Zen teachings.
The Mulamadhyamakakarika should not be seen as a new philosophy but as a clarification of the Tathagata’s teachings which ends all speculation of metaphysics.
While Zen Buddhism denies the efficacy of philosophising as a pathway to liberation, it took up many of the principles outlined in the Mulamadhyamakakarika and applied them in a practical way to end ignorance and relieve suffering.

In the realm of Buddhism, I have wanted for some time to find out more about Nagarjuna, whose intellect and incisive logic were undoubtedly comaprable with those of Shankara.
His key work is called the 'Mulamadhyamakakarika' and there is a highly recommended book:

 Thinking in Buddhism: Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamikakarikas (part 2)
Given both the length and time constraints of this research project and the limited degree of education I have thus far enjoyed, it was necessary to investigate this topic with a tight focus.
There are instances where a concept in this treatise may be spelled out gradually over the course of five or so verses, while the same concept in another text may be expressed succinctly and pithily.
On the one hand, each chapter of the Mulamadhyamakakarika could be summarized in a mere five sentences.

In addition, we find a very clear precursor of the Madhyamaka philosophy in the Perfection of Wisdom literature, where the primary theme is emptiness.
This is the very theme elaborated by Nagarjuna in works like his Mulamadhyamakakarika.
These four basic alternatives are indicated in the first verse of the Mulamadhyamakakarika, which states that 'No entity is produced at any time, anywhere, or in any manner from self, from other, from both, or without cause.' This is the fundamental Madhyamaka critique of causality.

 Verses from the Center: A Buddhist Vision of the Sublime
Whether or not Nagarjuna 'prefers allusive imagery to rational precision, logical games to tightly argued syllogisms, provocative suggestions to clear-cut instructions' (50), there is a nitty-gritty core of dialectical thinking in the Karikasthat makes them more philosophical than literary, and a hard nut for all of us to crack.
The idea is admirable, yet this version does nothing to alter my suspicion that the Mulamadhyamakakarika does not really make enough sense without a extensive chapter-by-chapter commentary, and probably never did.
Perhaps the only plausible alternative that might bring these important ideas to life for non-academics is a much more free and expansive version which would need to be so radically different from Nagarjuna's that it would become, in effect, a completely new work.

The implication of this pointed out by David Kalupahana, translator of and commentator on the Mulamadhyamakakarika, is that the remaining sections are inessential.
One interpretation of this disparity is based on the fact that there are numerous instances in the Mulamadhyamakakarika in which Nagarjuna quotes an opponent's position and refutes it in the next verse.
However, it would be easy, after reading the Mulamadhyamakakarika thus far, to get the impression that Nagarjuna was denying all and asserting nothing.
