The four great logical arguments of the Middle Way (Tib. dbu ma'i gtan tshigs chen po bzhi) are:
- 1.The investigation of the cause: the Diamond Splinters
- 2.The investigation of the result: refuting existent or non-existent results
- 3.The investigation of the essential identity: ‘neither one nor many’
- 4.The investigation of all: the Great Interdependence
Sometimes it is said that there are ‘five great arguments of the Middle Way,’ but, according to Mipham Rinpoche, the fifth — the investigation of both the cause and the effect: refuting production according to the four alternatives — can be included within the first category, i.e., the investigation of the cause.
