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.

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

If you think you see both
Destruction and becoming,
Then you see destruction and becoming
Through impaired vision.
