Precious Garland
Nagarjuna is renowned for his penetrating analysis of reality. In Precious Garland he offers intimate counsel on how to conduct one's life and how to construct social policies that reflect Buddhist ideals. The advice for personal happiness is concerned first with improving one's condition over the course of lifetimes and then with release from all kinds of suffering, culminating in buddhahood. From Nagarjuna's Precious Garland - analysed, translated and edited by Jeffrey Hopkins.
