But at a rough glance, I don't see how Vajrayana has anything to do with Mūlamadhyamakakārikā

Hi Yuan,

There's quite a lot of emphasis on Nagarjuna in some schools of Vajrayana (though not in the preliminary/foundation teachings) and I first started reading Mūlamadhyamakakārikā when I was still practising with the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

Here's an example of a lama who is said to be something of an expert on Nagarjuna and Madhyamika. There's his commentary on Nagarjuna's 'In Praise of the Dharmadhatu' in the magazine.

Anyway, sorry, I'm taking the thread away from the original topic !
