Description: Master of Wisdom, Six Works by Nagarjuna, translated by Christian Lindtner, gives readers access to Nagarjuna's clarifications of Sunyata, the essential insubstantiality of all phenomena, expressed in "Seventy Verses on Sunyata" and the Yuktisastikavrtti.

Complemented by Nagarjuna's writings on the meditation and moral conduct of a Bodhisattva and the inconceivable nature of the Buddha, this volume is a valuable aid for understanding the foundations of the Mahayana philosophical tradition. As enhancements to study, this book includes the romanized Tibetan text, notes and remarks by the translator, and all extant Sanskrit fragments. -- from publisher
