Nagarjuna
Madhyamika (Skt. Mādhyamika;
Tib. དབུ་མ་པ་, umapa; Wyl. dbu ma pa) — the followers
of the Middle Way philosophy, which teaches freedom from all
extremes. They say that just as truly existent external phenomena were refuted
by the Chittamatra school, a truly existent
perceiving mind must also be refuted, since both are equally lacking in
inherent existence, being mere dependent originations.
中觀派（行者） (梵文Mādhyamika；藏文དབུ་མ་པ་，音譯「鄔瑪巴」umapa; 威利拼音dbu ma pa) —奉持中觀哲理的行者，教義為離於一切邊見。其指出，如同唯識宗駁斥有所謂真實存在的所知外境，能知實存之心亦不可得，因兩者皆不過是相依緣起，了無本有的實存。
The Madhyamika school originates
with Nagarjuna, who commented upon the direct meaning
of the Prajñaparamita sutras in his Collection of
Reasoning, which includes the famous Root Verses on the Middle Way.
中觀派由龍樹尊者所立，在其《正理聚》[1](Collection of Reasoning，龍樹六論集結)中論述了《般若波羅蜜多》經典的了義，並收錄了著名的《中觀根本慧論》[2](Root Verses on
the Middle Way)。

Subschools
These two approaches came about when two
Indian masters wrote slightly different commentaries to Nagarjuna’s Root
Verses text.
§ the followers of Madhyamika should not
make any independent assertions, but merely show the absurd consequences of
holding to any extreme position. This approach is called prasangika,
meaning “consequence”.
§ The other, Bhavaviveka, thought it was acceptable to use what
is called “autonomous syllogism” (svatantra). This approach is
called svatantrika.
分派
由於佛護論師（Buddhapalita）和清辨論師（Bhavaviveka）這兩位印度大師在解說龍樹尊者《中觀根本慧論》時略有異趣，自此中觀派便分為兩個「學派」（分支）：自續派（自立量，Svatantrika）與應成派（隨應破，Prasangika）。
Madhyamika or Madhyamaka?
There has been some disagreement in
Western scholarship on the use of the terms Madhyamaka and Madhyamika. Great
Sanskritists such as T. R. V. Murti, a member of the Sanskrit Commission set
up by the Indian government in 1959, advocated the use of
"Madhyamika" on all occasions. Others use Madhyamaka for the system and the texts, and
Madhyamika for its advocates.
中觀派行者（Madhyamika）或中觀派（Madhyamaka）？
西方學界對Madhyamaka和Madhyamika這兩個語詞的使用時機，看法稍有歧義。有幾位大梵文學家，例如印度政府於1959年所成立梵文委員會（Sanskrit Commission）的成員之一——穆帝（T. R. V. Murti）便宣揚，皆以Madhyamika通稱即可。其他學者則在論述宗派或文典時使用「中觀派」（Madhyamaka），講到擁護者時使用「中觀派行者」（Madhyamika）。
