The Buddhist saint Nāgārjuna, who lived in South India in approximately the second century CE, is undoubtedly the most important, influential, and widely studied Mahāyāna Buddhist philosopher. His greatest philosophical work, the Mūlamadhyamikakārikā, read and studied by philosophers in all major Buddhist schools of Tibet, China, Japan, and Korea-is one of the most influential works in the history of Indian philosophy.
