THE ATLAS OF THE EMPTY THRONE

Mūlamadhyamakakārikā · the Root Verses

the Root Verses
nature
Twenty-seven chapters of dismantling, each taking one thing everyone assumes stands on its own and showing it cannot. Nothing arises from itself, from another, from both, or from neither.

The foundation text of Madhyamaka and the mirror-image of the Sefer Yetzirah: one book builds a cosmos out of a small alphabet, the other unbuilds one, term by term.
rhymes with
sephirahbinah
whyThe analytic faculty run in reverse — Binah's exact operation, aimed at dissolving rather than forming.

Tehiru is a walk-in model of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and its kindred ways — built to be explored, not read. This page is a still frame of one node; the app is where it moves.
