Introduction to the Middle Way presents an adventure into the heart of Buddhist wisdom through the teachings of the Madhyamika, or ‘middle way’, which are designed to push the ordinary intellect to the limit of its powers and then show that there is more.

This book includes a translation of verses from the Madhyamakavatara by the famous seventh-century Indian master Chandrakirti, a hugely influential text of Mahayana Buddhism, followed by an exhaustive logical explanation of its meaning by the modern Tibetan master Jamgön Mipham, composed approximately twelve centuries later. Chandrakirti’s work is an introduction to Nagarjuna’s Madhyamika teachings, which are themselves a systematisation of the Prajnaparamita, or ‘Perfection of Wisdom’, sutras on the crucial but elusive concept of emptiness.

Chandrakirti’s work has been accepted throughout Tibetan Buddhism as the ultimate expression of the Buddhist view at the sutra level. With Jamgön Mipham’s commentary, this is a definitive presentation of the wisdom of emptiness, a central theme of Buddhist teachings. This book is a central study text for both academic students and practitioners of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism.

Chandrakirti was a seventh-century Indian Buddhist philosopher revered for his interpretation of Nagarjuna’s teachings on the Middle Way.
