'''Nagarjuna''' (Skt. ''Nāgārjuna''; Tib. [[ཀླུ་སྒྲུབ་]], ''ludrup''; [[Wyl.]] ''klu sgrub'') - one of the six great commentators (the ‘[[Six Ornaments]]’) on the Buddha’s teachings, the great scholar Nagarjuna (c.150-250) is revered as an unsurpassed master by all Buddhist schools. His teachings provide the foundation for the [[Madhyamika]] School, which propounds the ‘Middle Way’ philosophy, accepted as the highest [[view]] within the [[sutrayana]]. He was also the revealer of the [[Prajñaparamita]] [[Sutra]]s, the core teaching of the second turning of the wheel of the Dharma. He is also counted among the [[eighty-four mahasiddhas]], and among the [[eight vidyadharas]].

[[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]] said:

:Noble Nagarjuna was like a second buddha in this world. He composed commentaries explaining all the Buddha’s views. The [[Six Ornaments and Two Supreme Ones]] of the noble land of India asserted that there is no difference between Nagarjuna’s commentaries and the Buddha’s teachings. This is because Nagarjuna’s commentaries cover all three turnings of the wheel as well as the secret-mantra [[vajrayana]].
