Chandrakirti's work is an introduction to the Madhyamika teachings of Nagarjuna, which are themselves a systematization of the Prajnaparamita, or \"Perfection of Wisdom\" literature, the sutras on the crucial but elusive concept of emptiness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chandrakirti's work has been accepted throughout Tibetan Buddhism as the highest expression of the Buddhist view on the sutra level.
