Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book contains a critical Sanskrit edition of the first five chapters of a work that presents the steps of the path to full Awakening according to the "Great Vehicle" of Buddhism. The author of the work, the Indian scholar Candrakirti (circa A.D. 570-650), is one of the most important representatives of the Madhyamaka, the "Middle Way" school. A central theme of the tradition is the emptiness or lack of reality of all things and beings. Those aspiring to achieve Awakening, the bodhisattvas, dedicate themselves to cultivating insight into emptiness and realizing the ultimate state of things, as well as to perfecting the practice of a group of ethical and spiritually oriented qualities, such as generosity and patience, for the sake of attaining Buddhahood. Unlike the followers of the so-called "Lesser Vehicle" the bodhisattvas vow, due to their deep compassion, to postpone entering Nirvana until they reach Buddhahood, since it is the attainment of Buddhahood that endows them with the power to comprehensively help sentient beings. Until now, these first five chapters of the Madhyamakavatarabhasya were available to scholars only in their Tibetan translation. The textual edition presented here is based on the sole extant, and only recently available, Sanskrit manuscript of the work, which had been preserved for centuries in Tibet. The new access to the text in its original language not only facilitates a better understanding of Candrakirti's philosophical views and his stance on topics relevant to liberation but allows for deeper appreciation of his contribution to an important phase of Indian Buddhism. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The proceedings volume of the Fifth International Dharmakirti Conference (Heidelberg, August 2014) is concerned with the logico-epistemological school of Buddhism - a long-lasting tradition that pursued the analysis of knowledge, inference and proof within a Buddhist soteriological framework, based on the works of the Indian epistemologist and logician Dharmakirti (6th-7th c. CE). Having been shaped in the environment of medieval India, with its multiple mutually interacting and partly competing religio-philosophical schools, the methods and approaches of Buddhist logic and epistemology had lasting impact on the intellectual history of Tibetan Buddhism and were also received in China and Japan. The 30 papers in this volume offer a snapshot of an international research landscape with centers in Vienna and Japan. They address historical and philological problems raised by important recent manuscript discoveries, pursue specific research questions in the history of philosophy, and undertake philosophical reconstructions and critical examinations relating to individual theories and arguments. By focusing on currents in Asia that developed and applied rigorous philosophical methods, the volume aims to contribute to the formation of a better-founded global historical awareness in the field of philosophy.
