I believe it is because of the merits that he has gained after practicing Buddhism that extended his life. It is just great to hear that through Buddhism, it has helped Naharjuna. It is great that Nahajurna has written some articles that would benefit others in the spiritual paths that they are heading towards.

Garfield titled "The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way" published in 1995 which makes it easy for students to understand this fascinating philosophical work due to its use of contemporary philosophical language. The Mulamadhyamakakarika has been interpreted many times, usually from the standpoint of the interpreter's own religious tradition or his/her own philosophical interest. Personally I find the Dalai Lama's teachings on "The Precious Garland" and Lama Tsongkhapa's epistolary poem "The Three Principles of the Path" very helpful in understanding the fundamental aspects of Mahayana Buddhism.

Did he believe in authority of shastras (VEDAS)? If not, how can he be termed as Idealist, as is done by some scholars as Debiprasad Chattopadhyaya? Thanks! Dr. K. Jamanadas [email protected] Sir,
