“…Prasjyapratiṣedha is a simple negation of a proposition without any further implications. Paryudāsapratiṣedha implicitly implies the opposite of what is negated (see Nietupski 1996, p. 108, n. 14 for references).…”

Although Atiśa is famous for his journey to Tibet and his teaching there, his teachings of Madhyamaka are not extensively commented upon in the works of known and extant indigenous Tibetan scholars. Atiśa's Madhyamaka thought, if even discussed, is minimally acknowledged in recent modern scholarly overviews or sourcebooks on Indian Buddhist thought. The following annotated translation provides a late eleventh century Indo-Tibetan Madhyamaka teaching on the two realities (satyadvaya) attributed to Atiśa Dīpaṁ karaśrījñāna (982-1054 C.E.) entitled A General Explanation of, and Framework for Understanding, the Two Realities (bden gnyis spyi bshad dang/ bden gnyis 'jog tshul). The text furnishes an exposition of the Middle Way (madhyamaka) thought of Nāgārjuna based on an exegesis of conventional reality and ultimate reality within the framework of Mahāyāna path structures found in texts attributed to Maitreyanātha. The General Explanation fills an important gap in the historical knowledge of Madhyamaka teachings in eleventh century India and Tibet. The text presents a Madhyamaka teaching brought to Tibet by Atiśa and provides previously unknown evidence for the type of pure Madhyamaka teachings that circulated among the communities of early followers of Atiśa. These teachings were disseminated before the rise of the early Bka'-gdams-pa monastery of Gsang-phu ne'u-thog and its debating traditions that, particularly beginning in the twelfth century, placed emphasis on the merger of Madhyamaka and Epistemology (pramāṇa).

Some More Notes on Siderits and Katsura’s Translation of Nāgārjuna’s Mūlamadhyamakakārikā

In my recent translation (Ferraro 2016) from Sanskrit to Portuguese of Nāgārjuna’s Mūlamadhyamakakārikā I have frequently consulted, among many others, Mark Siderits and Shōryū Katsura’s English version (Siderits / Katsura 2013) of the same work. In this review article I present some places where my understanding of Nāgārjuna’s words more markedly diverges from their translation. Regarding the ideal of “an English-speaking Nāgārjuna” as a work-in-progress which could be constantly improved, my observations aim to continue the list of remarks presented by Anne MacDonald in her review article (MacDonald 2015) of Siderits and Katsura’s work.
