The Essence of the Middle Treatise is Tan Ying's concise commentary on the Middle Treatise composed by Bodhisattva Nāgārjuna. Nāgārjuna, the founder of the Indian Madhyamaka school in the 2nd–3rd century CE, centers this treatise on dependent origination and emptiness, dismantling all views of inherent existence and elucidating the true reality of the Middle Way. Tan Ying's Essence succinctly extracts the framework of the twenty-seven chapters of the Middle Treatise, analyzing profound meanings such as the Eight Negations of the Middle Way and the Two Truths in contemporary language, assisting learners in realizing the emptiness of prajñā. This commentary inherits the tradition of Chinese Buddhism, combining academic rigor with practical guidance. It serves as an important introductory text for studying Madhyamaka philosophy and holds significant value in bridging classical and contemporary Buddhist doctrinal study and practice.

宗喀巴大師根據佛護、月稱二大論師所作的「中論釋」而制「中論疏」,這部疏是成為西藏佛教學者學習龍樹菩薩中觀宗的主要論典。全書共十四卷以疏釋中論二十七品論文,每品疏文都分為「釋品文」、「引經證」、「示略義」三段。茲將每品疏文中的「略義」譯出,冠以「中論略義」,供研究中觀宗義者的參考。譯誤之處,希望讀者指正!

Based on the commentaries on the "Mūlamadhyamakakārikā" by the great masters Buddhapālita and Candrakīrti, Master Tsongkhapa composed the "Commentary on the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā." This commentary has become the primary text for Tibetan Buddhist scholars studying the Madhyamaka school of Nāgārjuna Bodhisattva. The entire work consists of fourteen volumes, providing commentary on the twenty-seven chapters of the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā. Each chapter's commentary is divided into three sections: "Explanation of the Text," "Scriptural Citations," and "Summary of the Meaning." Here, the "Summary of the Meaning" from each chapter's commentary has been translated and compiled under the title "Summary of the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā," offered as a reference for those studying the tenets of the Madhyamaka school. Any errors in translation are respectfully open to correction by readers.
