The Chariot of the Middle Way

How the Middle Way Was Taught, Debated, and Lived
91 pagesEbook · 6×9 paperback

The Teaching That Changed Buddhism Forever, And the Life Behind It Every lineage of Mahāyāna Buddhism traces something essential back to one figure. Nāgārjuna's verses have been chanted, debated, and treasured for nearly two thousand years, yet the man himself remains a distant name to most practitioners. The Chariot of the Middle Way changes that. This is the life behind the teaching: intimate, reverent, and alive.

Read the full description

Whether you sit in a Tibetan shrine room, a Zen meditation hall, or before a Pure Land altar, Nāgārjuna is already part of your path. This book invites you to meet him, not as a philosophical abstraction, but as a practitioner who composed under pressure, debated with courage, wrote letters of compassion to a king, and retreated to the mountain to deepen what he had realized. Drawn faithfully from the tradition's own sources, this is Madhyamaka as devotion, biography as dharma.
