Nature is a topic in many Indian and Tibetan philosophical texts,
although its meaning varies considerably in both Hindu and Buddhist
scriptures. The discussion of nature pursued in this book begins
with Nagarjuna (first century), founder of the Middle Way School,
who refuted a fabricated nature in his "Treatise on the Middle." In
that seminal text, he puts forth the three basic criteria for
nature: it must be something that is non-fabricated, independent,
and immutable.
This book presents Dzong-ka-ba's discussion of the overly narrow
object in his "Great Exposition" and relates that discussion to
Nagarjuna's verses in "Treatise on the Middle." When combined with
an understanding of an overly broad object to be negated, this
topic brings the Middle Way practitioner to a precise
identification of the nonexistent object-of-negation nature as
being a thing's establishment by way of its own entity.
This book also presents Dzong-ka-ba's more mainstream commentary on
the subject in the Ocean of Reasoning sections, which are
translated in Part Two. It also describes Dzong-ka-ba's strong
reaction to the positive and independent nature asserted by Tibet's
greatest synthesist, Dol-bo Shay-rap-gyel-tsen (fourteenth
century).
