: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical SystemsSix Collections of Reasoning refer to N膩g膩rjuna鈥檚 six major texts; they are known in Tibetan as rigs pa鈥檌 tshogs drug.鈥擜ccordingly, [while describing the history of the madhyamaka philosophical system]: N膩g膩rjuna (ca. 150 A.D.) worked for the benefit of beings in many places, such as Pu峁囜笉aravardhana, 峁峁乿e峁, and others. He erected many Stupas and temples. Doing this and other deeds, he left his legacy and brought limitless benefit to the teaching. In particular, he established the path of the ultimate definitive meaning, that of the profound Madhyamaka, by means of scripture in the 鈥淐ompendium of Sutras鈥� and by means of reasoning in the six collections of reasoning, such as the 鈥淔undamental Treatise on the Middle Way鈥�. [...] He revived from the ground up the teaching of the Mahayana, which had disappeared, and with a kindness like that of the Conqueror himself, spread the Conqueror鈥檚 teaching throughout the land.
The Six Collections of Reasoning are:
- Fundamental Treatise on the Middle Way,
- Sixty Stanzas on Reasoning,
- Seventy Stanzas on Emptiness,
- Finely Woven Scripture,
- Refutation of Objections,
- Precious Garland.
