Abstract

Abstract After a brief introduction to Candrakīrti’s life and works, this section discusses the background of Candrakīrti’s text in Nāgārjuna’s Madhyamaka, and the debate between Buddhapālita and Bhāviveka, two key commentators from the Indian Budddhist scholastic commentarial tradition. This is followed by a survey of the structure of the text, with particular focus on the 6th chapter, the main part of the work, which provides a detailed exposition of the Madhyamaka theory of emptiness. The remainder of the section comments on Candrakīrti’s relation to Yogācāra before looking at the history of the reception of the text, first in India, then in Tibet.
