Nagarjuna as the greatest of all time !

[Gadfly]

Here's how he ends his famous Karika;

I prostrate to Gautama
Who through compassion
Taught the true doctrine
Which leads to the relinquishing of all views.

Really ?

Well, my 1st impression is that this is an "extreme" ! (Throw it out).

But even he can't go with it - but at least he's humble about it - since he just sold us the 4 Noble Truths, etc. He's a Buddhist after all.

Recent scholarship has shown us that many of his arguments are, well, from the Greek Pyrrho - ala Sextus Empiricus - some exactly. Who pre-dates Nagarjuna. It used to be Hume. Don't look to the French post-modernists either or Wittgenstein, etc. They are too late and too confused. Sextus is the guy.

This is NOT Gautama btw.

Anyway, the idea here is get rid of all views. Then the truth comes in.

But where does it come from ?
