Walser explores how Nagarjuna secured the canonical authority of Mahayana teachings and considers his use of rhetoric to ensure the transmission of his writings by Buddhist monks. Drawing on close textual analysis of Nagarjuna's writings and other Buddhist and non-Buddhist sources, Walser offers an original contribution to the understanding of Nagarjuna and the early history of Buddhism.Mādhyamika (Buddhism)Mahayana BuddhismElectronic books.Mādhyamika (Buddhism)Mahayana Buddhism.294.3/92Walser Joseph1034112MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451639303321Nāgārjuna in context2453036UNINA
