Description Contents
 
Verses from the Center is one of Buddhism's greatest reflections on the meaning of life, written by one of its most mysterious and legendary masters. Nagarjuna lived in India during the second century as a monk, meditator, and philosopher. Some believe he visited the mystical land of the Nagas to retrieve the Buddha's hidden wisdom teachings. Others believe he achieved immortality and reemerged as a tantric saint in eigth-century India. Even today his myth and legend are alive in the Himalayan foothills. What has never been disputed is that Nagarjuna's verses are the quintessential expression of the Buddhist notion of the sublime. Verses from the Center promises to be a seminal contribution to the understanding of Buddhism, as well as a book to live by.
