Cristina Scherrer-Schaub, « Un manuscrit tibétain des Pratītyasamutpādahrdayakārikā de Nāgārjuna », Cahiers d'Extrême-Asie, ID : 10.3406/asie.1987.896
The Pratityasamutpadahrdayakarika by Nagarjuna can be considered a short summary of the Madhyamika theory of causality. Some scholars are of the opinion that only five of the seven karika are authentic. While editing a Tibetan manuscript of this little treatise discovered at Dunhuang (PT 769), the author examines here the coherence of the Pratityasamutpadahrdaya's teaching in relation to Nagarjuna's doctrine.
