In the personal
realm, Nagarjuna concentrates on the cause and effect sequences for
developing happiness within ordinary life as well as the realization of
emptiness and compassion that lead to enlightenment. He identifies 57
counterproductive attitudes and 7 virtues and their results, and closes
with a moving prayer for recitation 3 times daily. His advice on social
and governmental policy emphasizes education, compassionate care for all
living beings, reforming criminals instead of putting them to death,
charity for the homeless, and support of religious education.
