ཡོད་ཅེས་བྱ་བ་རྟག་པར་འཛིན། །

མེད་ཅེས་བྱ་བ་ཆད་པར་ལྟ། །
དེ་ཕྱིར་ཡོད་དང་མེད་པ་ལ། །

མཁས་པས་གནས་པར་མི་བྱའོ། །

To say “it is” is a conception of permanence,
To say “it is not” is a view of nihilism,
Therefore the learned should not dwell
In either existence or non-existence.

Nāgārjuna, Root Verses of the Middle Way, XV, 10
