Nagarjuna's Philosophy: As Presented In The Maha-Prajnaparamita-Sastra

Put down the Karika! This is the book that brilliantly presents whats needed to penetrate Nagarjuna. Read the other reviews carefully and you'll get the message.

A true gem. This is not just a focused explication of the title subject, but also a broad and brilliant explanation of the previous developments in Buddhism.

A scholarly well written book with an excellent historical perspective on the development of Buddhism as well. The book is Incredibly well researched

This book, though very lengthy, contains nearly all you need to know about Madhyamaka. Read it, unless you don't want to realize the doctrine of emptiness.

I don't know if there is a better overall treatment of Buddhism. This is not really a treatise on "madhyamika"--rather it is a presentation of the true middle way path of insight.

The depth of insight into Nagarjuna's subtle philosophy concerning the way reality hovers between existence and non-existence is simply astonishing. Ramanan writes with the depth of precision and clarity that is born of a complete and thorough understanding of this most abstruse subject. This work is the most profound analysis of the concept of emptiness I have ever read.Erik Scothron

I’ve read the preface. About to start chapter one. I don’t have any issues understanding the translations. I think the book is very well comprehended thus far. Will update more in depth.
