Madhyamaka is Nagarjuna's articulation of the Dharma.
These are short:
What is the Madhyamaka tradition? By Khenpo Jorden (YouTube) (5:22)
Madhyamaka: Jay Garfield (YouTube) (10:36)
Are all things empty? - Nagarjuna & The Buddhist Middle Way (YouTube) (22:36)
Nāgārjuna and Indian Madhyamaka (YouTube) (38:40) Derived from Jan Christoph Westerhoff, Richard Hayes, and Jay L. Garfield.
The upshot is that there is one thing, and that parts of it don't have separate existence.
Found a copy of the translation of the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā online:
1:1
Neither from itself nor from another,
Nor from both,
Nor without a cause,
Does anything whatever, anywhere arise. (Wikipedia)
2. There are four conditions: efficient condition;
Percept-object condition; immediate condition;
Dominant condition, just so.
There is no fifth condition.
3. The essence of entities
Is not present in the conditions, etc ….
If there is no essence,
There can be no otherness-essence.
