Four extremes (Skt. catuṣkoṭi; Tib. མཐའ་བཞི་, ta shyi; Wyl. mtha’ bzhi)
- existence (ཡོད་མཐའ་, Wyl. yod mtha' )
- non-existence (མེད་མཐའ་, Wyl. med mtha' )
- both existence and non-existence (ཡོད་མེད་མཐའ་, Wyl. yod med mtha' )
- neither existence nor non-existence (ཡོད་མེད་མིན་, Wyl. yod med min)
Example of this logic is for example in Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamaka-karika, verse 55:
Everything is real and is not real,
Both real and not real,
Neither real nor not real.
This is Lord Buddha’s teaching.
