Ok, may seem after the fact to talk about introduction, but I believe we need to be introduced again and again until we fully realize. Simplicity is a wonderful thing sometimes.
Who is Buddha? (link)
Here's the rub...its not about worshiping Buddha, but until the improper intrinsic view is shaken off, anyone clinging will be lost to their clinging. And its not just with god, buddha and allah etc. So many view-forms take to clinging to intrinsic nature that is not.
Nagarjuna helps shake off the improper views. To the Matrix movie, neo has to be unplugged from the tubes and such that connect him to "the machine world". Ok, Nagarjuna is like Morpheus and Trinity coming to get Neo while he is "Thomas A. Anderson" in samsara. I heard even that the cohen brothers were referencing Buddhism when makign the movie. Not sure if its true but definitely they referenced spiritual works.
