The doctrine of Dependent Origination is a view of a great Philosopher Buddha. Seeing Dependent Origination is seeing the truth of the Selflessness of dharmas (Emptiness of dharmas). This is a unique view of the history of Philosophy. The doctrine of No-self is a feature of Buddhist teachings, which is entirely different from all philosophies and beliefs of the world. Nagarjuna appeared several centuries after the Buddha and followed the thought of Dependent Origination to establish the Madhyamika (Sunyata) school or Middle Way. Although many centuries have passed, Nagarjuna’s doctrine of emptiness is still valid for breaking all attachments. This empty foundation can be seen as the pinnacle of wisdom that has brought Buddhism above all other doctrines. Nagarjuna Philosophy of Logic of Emptiness on Logic Two truths and Logic of Non-Dualism, or Logic of Eight Negations. The Two Truths logic clearly explains the existence of emptiness as well as its practicality. The logic of Non-Dualism (Eight negations) smashes all thoughts of attachment to worldly phenomena as well as creative ideas of some schools.
