#Bodhicitta, the "#awakening mind", is central to #Mahāyāna #Buddhism. It unites #compassion (#karuna) and #wisdom (#prajna), motivating practitioners to seek #enlightenment for all beings.

#Nāgārjuna’s #Madhyamaka employs radical negation (#prasaṅga) to reveal the limits of conceptual thought, dissolving all views — including #emptiness (#sunyata) itself. This apophatic method aims at direct, non-conceptual wisdom (#prajñā), resonating with #Zen’s emphasis on silence and immediacy. Liberation arises not by grasping truth, but by letting go.
