The Buddha Spoke His Name Before He Was Born.

The Buddha Spoke His Name Before He Was Born. What if the most important philosopher in Buddhist history was never meant to be a philosopher at all, but a bodhisattva, a serpent-king's guest, a keeper of scriptures the world was not yet ready to hold?

Read the full description

The Nāga-Born restores Nāgārjuna to his full, luminous strangeness, not as a footnote in Madhyamaka theory, but as a living presence walking the razor's edge between brilliance and destruction, between this world and the ones coiled beneath it. This is the story dharma students have been waiting for: the man behind the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā , told as sacred biography, as namthar, where philosophy is inseparable from fever dreams, initiation, and the mercy of great serpent-kings. If you have ever chanted Nāgārjuna's name in a lineage prayer and wondered who you were really invoking, this book answers that question with devotion, with drama, and with the full force of Mahāyāna imagination.
