Mūlamadhyamakakārikā

Foundational text of the Madhyamaka school of Mahāyāna philosophy

The Mūlamadhyamakakārikā (Devanagari: मूलमध्यमककारिका, lit. 'Verses on the Root of the Middle Way'), abbreviated as MMK, is the foundational text of the Madhyamaka school of Mahāyāna Buddhist philosophy. It was composed by the Indian philosopher Nāgārjuna (around roughly 150 CE). The MMK makes use of reductio arguments to show how all phenomena (dharmas) are empty of svabhava (which has been variously translated as essence, own-being, or inherent existence).
