 Second, Candrakīrti’s argument from emptiness demonstrates the unreality of the conventionally real phenomena by means of appealing to causal processes at work in producing these entities. The understanding here is that the way in which things arise and come into existence definitively informs us about how things actually are. This argument is an extension of Nāgārjuna’s famous tetralemma argument which states: “neither from itself nor from another nor from both, nor without cause does anything anywhere, ever arise.” ([MMK] 1.1) Candrakīrti develops this argument in great detail in chapter 6 of [M]/[MBh], we shall only have a quick look at its overall strategy without delving into its details.
