It's a third translation by Dennis Waller that I am reading and he continues to impress me. Nagurajuna is considered to be one of the most influential thinkers within Buddhism after Gautama Buddha and is even considered a second Buddha among Tibetian and East Asian traditions of Buddhism. 2000 years ago Nagurajuna shared ideas about how to live happier life, how to reach balance in life and how to avoid problems that we cause for ourselves. I can say that principles that I read are extremely applicable for my life and now I have many ideas about how to change my life for the better. In fact my wife told that a week after I read this book I became much calmer and my mood is much better.I think that we can learn so much from the wisest people of the past. The translation made by Dennis Waller is exceptional in my mind. Because he not only interprets a text to make it understandable for modern people but also provides historical background about the book and about the Nagurajuna. I not only enjoyed reading the book but also got many interesting concepts and ideas about how to make my life happier and more interesting.
