This vision of the sublime is the source of all that is enigmatic and paradoxical about Buddhism. In Verses from the Center , Stephen Batchelor explores the history of this concept and provides readers with translations of the most important poems ever written on the subject, the poems of 2nd century philosopher Nagarjuna.
