Book excerpt: CHANDRAKĪRTI'S SEVENFOLD REASONING: Meditation on the Selflessness of Persons This explanation of Chandrakīrti's presentation of the Sevenfold Reasoning is based on that found in the Clear Exposition of the Presentation of Tenets, a Beautiful Ornament for the Meru of the Subduer's Teaching composed by Jang-kya. In this small volume, Joe Wilson includes an explanation of the context of the Sevenfold Reasoning in Buddhist philosophy as a whole. Chandrakīrti represents the Prasangika-Mādhyamika school of philosophy, which is reviewed in the Gelugpa presentation of Sūtra and Tantra as the highest system, or most correct system, for explaining phenomena and the way in which they exist. This book explores its essential and complex subject in depth for the benefit of all readers making a detailed investigation of the Buddhadharma.
