Nagarjuna (ca. 150 — ca. 250 AD) was an Indian monk and Mahāyāna Buddhist philosopher of the Madhyamaka (Centrism, Middle Way) school. He is widely considered one of the most important Buddhist philosophers. Nāgārjuna is widely considered to be the founder of the Madhyamaka school of Buddhist philosophy and a defender of the Mahāyāna movement. His Mūlamadhyamakakārikā (Root Verses on Madhyamaka) is the most important text on the Madhyamaka philosophy of emptiness. The Mūlamadhyamakakārikā inspired a large number of commentaries in Sanskrit, Chinese, Tibetan, Korean and Japanese.
