Seeing of emptiness and mystical experience - the case of Madhyamaka: The problem of Buddhist religiosity is one of the most classic problems of Buddhist studies. A particular version of this issue is the search for mystical experience in Buddhism. This is due to the conviction that mystical experience is the essence of religious experience itself. The discovery of such an alleged experience fuels comparative speculations between Buddhism and the philosophical and religious traditions of the Mediterranean area. Madhyamaka is the Buddhist tradition which many researchers saw as the fulfillment of such mystical aspirations in Buddhism. In this paper I specify the standard parameters of mystical experience (non‑conceptuality, ineffability, paradoxicality, silence, oneness, fullness) and I conclude that they either cannot be applied to Madhyamaka or that the application is only illusory.

The text is divided into two parts. The first part is a reconstruction of the main issues of Madhyamaka philosophy present in Nāgārjuna’s Hymn to the Unthinkable One (Acintyastava). Particular emphasis is placed on issues that were not explicit in Nāgārjuna’s treatises. The most important one is the thetic moment of our experience, which is expressed by the term “obsession with reification” (bhāva-graha-grahāveśa). This is a natural tendency to attribute real existence to objects of consciousness, i.e. the tendency to hypostasize them (samāropa). The second part of the text is a translation of the Hymn of the Unthinkable One.
