Current Topic:
Nagarjuna's Letter To A Friend
Group Study Starts November 29, 2009

The great Indian Buddhist master Nagarjuna (1st - 2nd century A.D.) wrote his celebrated
poem Letter to a Friend as a letter of advice to a king with whom he was friendly.
Despite its short length (only 123 verses), it is a monument in the Indian Buddhist tradition.
It covers the whole Mahayana path with unusual clarity and memorable imagery, and it is for this
reason that it is widely quoted by Tibet's great masters and scholars in the many commentaries
they have written on the Buddhist path. The poem's condensed style and concentration
of technical subjects, however, make it difficult to understand for the average reader, and
much of it requires a certain amount of explanation if its message is to be conveyed fully.
