What if nothing that exists has ever truly arisen?
In the opening chapter of his Mūla-Madhyamaka-kārikā, the second-century philosopher Nāgārjuna dismantles one of the most fundamental assumptions of human thinking — that things have causes, and causes produce effects. With fourteen spare verses, he unravels the four conditions of the Abhidharma tradition and opens the door to śūnyatā — emptiness.
Examination of Conditions is the first in the Kārikā Book series by Tsultim Sanpo — interpretive companions to the MMK that make Nāgārjuna's razor-sharp reasoning available to every curious reader. Drawing on the commentarial traditions of Je Tsong Khapa and Mabja Jangchub Tsöndrü, each verse is unpacked with care: Sanskrit original, sandhi viccheda, literal translation, and grounded everyday examples — from mangoes and matchsticks to birthday cakes and birthday candles.
This is not a dry academic treatise. It is an invitation to think — slowly, honestly, and with delight.
