Tibetan Buddhism

Prasangika Madhyamaka

The philosophical approach using consequential reasoning to reveal emptiness.

Prasangika uses reductio ad absurdum arguments to show that any position asserting inherent existence leads to logical contradictions. This approach is considered the highest philosophical view in Tibetan Buddhism.

We do not put forth any thesis. Therefore no one can find fault with us.
