Discover the eloquence and insight of the philosopher Nagarjuna, held by tradition to be a second Buddha, in this concise instruction for a king that is considered a masterpiece of Buddhist literature. In this profound work of five hundred verses, we encounter a presentation of Buddhism that integrates both the worldly and the transcendent. The clear and sagacious advice laid out on every page serves as a road map to one’s highest goal—whether that goal is a better life, here called the Dharma of ascendance, or the ultimate one of spiritual freedom, the Dharma of the highest good. The verses, written for an unnamed ruler, touch on questions of statecraft, but their broader themes speak to us today because they tackle the difficulty of integrating one’s spiritual journey with the social and political demands of daily life. Nagarjuna was an Indian Buddhist teacher, probably of the second century CE, who was renowned for his astute articulation of the philosophy of the Middle Way (Madhyamaka). His thoroughgoing critique of all forms of essentialism became a touchstone for Mahayana Buddhism in India, Tibet, and throughout East Asia, and his importance for the development of the Mahayana tradition can scarcely be exaggerated. The translators here first rendered Nagarjuna’s letter for the Dalai Lama’s teachings on the work in Los Angeles in 1997. While that commemorative edition was translated from the Tibetan, the present volume prioritizes the surviving Sanskrit verses along with the only known Indian commentary, by the eleventh-century scholar Ajitamitra. This is the first complete translation in English of the Precious Garland that takes the Indian text and commentary as its primary authorities. In addition, the translators provide rigorous working editions of the Sanskrit and Tibetan verses they translate. This elegant and precise rendering of Nagarjuna’s work is certain to become the touchstone translation of this celebrated Buddhist text.

How do we live wisely? This is the question Sangharakshita seeks to answer in this commentary on Precious Garland of Advice for a King. In the companion volume, Living Ethically, Sangharakshita showed us that to live a Buddhist life we need to develop an ethical foundation, living in a way motivated increasingly by love, contentment and awareness. However, from a Buddhist viewpoint, 'being good' is not good enough. We need to use our positive ethical position to develop wisdom, a deep understanding of the true nature of existence.

Emptiness means that all entities are empty of, or lack, inherent existence - entities have a merely conceptual, constructed existence. Though Nagarjuna advocates the Middle Way, his philosophy of emptiness nevertheless entails nihilism, and his critiques of the Nyaya theory of knowledge are shown to be unconvincing.

The Buddha's definitive teachings on how we should understand the ground of enlightenment and the nature and qualities of buddhahood. All sentient beings, without exception, have buddha nature—the inherent purity and perfection of the mind, untouched by changing mental states. Thus there is neither any reason for conceit nor self-contempt. This is obscured by veils that are removable and do not touch the inherent purity and perfection of the nature of the mind. The Mahayana Uttaratantra Shastra, one of the “Five Treatises” said to have been dictated to Asanga by the Bodhisattva Maitreya, presents the Buddha’s definitive teachings on how we should understand this ground of enlightenment and clarifies the nature and qualities of buddhahood. This seminal text details with great clarity the view that forms the basis for Vajrayana, and especially Mahamudra, practice.

Precious Garland: Buddhist Approach to Life, Polity and Liberation is book of advice composed by the renowned Buddhist monk philosopher Arya Nagarjuna for his royal friend King Satakarni of the Indian Satavahana dynasty in circa, first century AD. Strung in 500 quatrains, the book is presented in five chapters, each shedding light on concepts and realities such as life, death, beauty, love, power, and virtue. It also provides deep philosophical insight into relevant Buddhist views of Karmic causality, impermanence, emptiness, relativity or interdependence, and Nirvana. More importantly, it delineates Nagarjuna’s quintessential Madhyamaka philosophy, which remained a central philosophy theme in various Buddhist traditions for centuries. The book is intended at helping readers develop a healthy outlook to life, spirituality and practice. Carry a universal message, the book, originally composed for a king, will serve as an effective advice manual for those in responsible positions of power and also those bound by a sense of civic duty. Set in bilingual format, the book contains a new Tibetan rendition of the text drawn primarily from its five major editions -- Derge, Chone, Narthang, Peking and Zhol -- with a lightly annotated English translation that opts literally over readability
