From the Publisher
Over twenty-five hundred years ago, thebuddha described the inconceivable, perfectly pure ture nature of reality in his teachings on Transcendent Wisdom (Sanskrit: Prajnaparamita). some five centuries later, the noble protector Nagarjuna, in his seminal ext The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way, summarized these vast teachings of the Buddhas and used logical reasoning to prove the validity of the buddha's words. Enetering the middle Way is the glorious Chandrakirti's explanation of the meaning of Nagarjuna's work. Its sixth chapter, which constitutes the majority of the ext, has four main sections: an exlantion o fhow in genuine reality phenomena do not truly arise; a refuation of the Mind-Only (Sanskrit: Chittamatra) School's assertion that mind truly exists; a refutation of the true existence of the person self; and an explantion of the sixteen types of emptiness taught by the Buddha in the Transcendent Wisdom sturas. In the course of his treatise, composed in succinct verse form, Chantdrakirti clarifies the ultimate meaning of the Buddha's Transcendent Wisdom sutras. The Eight Karmapa, Mikyo Dorje, one of the most erudite and prolific scholars of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, elaborates on the meaning of these verses in a commentary that he proclaims to contain the key to gaining the realization achieved by all the enlightened masters of the past, present and future.
