About Nagarjuna

Nāgārjuna (c. 150 – 250), sometimes called the "second Buddha" in Tibetan and East Asian Mahayana traditions, was an Indian Buddhist monk and philosopher. He systematized Mahayana Buddhist philosophy around the central concept of the emptiness (shunyata) of all existents (dharmas).

Additional quotes by Nagarjuna

Even three times a day to offer
Three hundred cooking pots of food
Does not match a portion of the merit
In one instant of love.

There is pleasure when a sore is scratched,
But to be without sores is more pleasurable still.
Just so, there are pleasures in worldly desires,
But to be without desires is more pleasurable still.

No suffering is self-caused.
Nothing causes itself. If another is not self-made, How could suffering be caused by another? If suffering were caused by each, Suffering could be caused by both. Not caused by self or by other, How could suffering be uncaused?

Without hope of reward Provide help to others. Bear suffering alone, And share your pleasures with beggars. - Nagarjuna
