Sanlun
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sanlun (Traditional Chinese: 三論, Simplified Chinese: 三论) or literally Three Treatise School was a Chinese school of Buddhism based upon the Indian Madhyamaka tradition, founded by Nagarjuna. The name derives from the fact that three principal Madhyamikan texts were translated by Kumarajiva to form the basis for the tradition.
Chi-tsang was the founder of the school.
In 625, the Korean monk Ekan brought the Sanlun school to Japan, where it was known as Sanron. The Sanron sect held that all phenomena are unreal and exist only relatively to one another.
