Buddhist doctrine of emptiness. Introduction to Madhyamika

The book presents a treatise "Introduction to Madhyamika", as well as comments on it of famous Tibetan masters. The treatise is dedicated to the discussion of the basic paradigm of the Buddhist doctrine - the doctrine of emptiness (Shunyata) - and is the fundamental text for the view of the Gelugpa school. Comprehension of the void is the innermost essence of the Mahayana path and therefore, revealing the meaning of Shunyata according to the view of Madhyamika-Prasangiki, Chandrakirts in his work in detail and deeply discusses the practice of paramitis in the context of five ways of Bodhisattva. The sixth paramet of wisdom (prajna), the acquisition of which is associated with the direct comprehension of the emptiness of the personality and phenomena, is especially described.
