Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/The Buddhist Philosophy of the Middle/Glossary + (dbu ma;Middle;middle;madhyamaka;Skt. ''mad … dbu ma;Middle;middle;madhyamaka;Skt. ''madhyamaka'', Tib. ''dbu ma''. The word ''madhyamaka''—derived from Skt. ''madhyama'' "placed in the middle, central," itself related to ''madhya'' "id."—means middle, middlemost. In the sūtra for Kātyāyana cited in ''MMK'' xv. 7 (the Pali version of which is in the Saṃyuttanikāya II 17), the Buddha is shown explaining that to say "all exists" is one extreme (''anta'') and to say "all does not exist" is a second extreme;hence he, the Tathāgata, without resorting to either binary extreme, teaches the Dharma "by the middle" {''majjhena''). This sūtra then mentions members of the chain of origination in dependence that accounts for the arising (''samudaya'') of the entire aggregate of Pain (''dukkhakkhandha''), and whose reversal leads to the cessation (''nirodha'') of this Pain. See also ''Kāśyapaparivarta'' § 56 ff. It is of the highest importance that the ''Samādhirājasūtra'' (ix.27) has pointed out that the Middle is no third position in which one might install oneself, having once eschewed the twin extremes of existence and non-existence (''madhye 'pi na sthānaṃ karoti paṇḍitaḥ''). The word ''madhyamaka'' denotes, then, a philosophical Middle free from the twin extreme views of the eternal (''śāśvata'') and destruction (''uccheda''), and indeed from any hypostatized position on which one might fixate. (Compare also Śāntideva's ''Bodhicaryāvatāra'' ix.35: ''yadā na bhāvo nâbhāvo mateḥ saṃtiṣṭhate puraḥ/ tadânyagatyabhāvena nirālambā praśaāmyati''//)) Madhyamaka thought is thus neither substantialism (metaphysical essentialism) nor nihilism. Later (see ''The literature of the Madhyamaka school of philosophy in India'', p. 1) the word ''madhyamaka'' came to designate the system or school of thought that goes back to Nāgārjuna (ca. second century C.E.) and was continued by his disciple Āryadeva and, subsequently, by Buddhapālita (ca. 500, a source for the Apagogist branch of the Madhyamaka school), by Bhāviveka (sixth century, the initiator of the Autonomist branch of the school), and by Candrakīrti (the seventh-century master of its Apagogist branch). Madhyamaka theory (and the school) may be designated also by the appellation ''madhyamakadarśana''. The term ''madhyamakaśāstra'' denotes either a major text belonging to the Madhyamaka school or the body of this schools texts and doctrines. A Mādhyamika (Tib. ''dbu ma pa'') is a person who follows this school of thought. (Wackernagel-Debrunner, ''Altindische Grammatik II'', 2 [Göttingen, 1954], § 37b [p. 124], is misleading when declaring: "Auf Prākritismus beruhen buddh. [...] ''madhyamika''- neben ''mā''- als Name einer Schule") Over many centuries Mādhyamikas have drawn out and explicated the philosophical implications of the Middle Way.losophical implications of the Middle Way.)
