Book Synopsis Existence and Enlightenment in the Laṅkāvatāra-Sūtra by : Florin Giripescu Sutton
Download or read book Existence and Enlightenment in the Laṅkāvatāra-Sūtra written by Florin Giripescu Sutton. This book was released on 1991-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a systematic analysis of one of the most important concepts characterizing the Yogācāra School of Buddhism (the last creative stage of Indian Buddhism) as outlined and explained in one of its most authoritative and influential texts, Laṅkāvatāra-Sūtra. Compiled in the second half of the fourth-century A.D., this sutra not only represents a comprehensive synthesis of both early and late religio-philosophical ideas crucial to the understanding of Buddhism in India, but it also provides an insight into the very early roots of the Japanese Zen Buddhism in the heart of the South Asian esotericism. The first part of the book outlines the three-fold nature of Being, as conceptualized in Buddhist metaphysics. The author uses an interpretive framework borrowed from the existentialist philosophy of Heidegger, in order to separate the transcendental Essence of Being from its Temporal manifestation as Self, and from its Spatial or Cosmic dimension. The second part clarifies the Buddhist approach to knowledge in its religious, transcendental sense and it shows that the Buddhists were actually first in making use of dialectical reasoning for the purpose of transcending the contradictory dualities imbedded in the common ways of perceiving, thinking, and arguing about reality.

Book Synopsis On Realizing There is Only the Virtual Nature of Consciousness by : Peter Lunde Johnson
Download or read book On Realizing There is Only the Virtual Nature of Consciousness written by Peter Lunde Johnson. This book was released on 2019-06-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A translation of the definitive discourse on the nature of the mind and its spiritual restoration by Xuanzang in accordance with the teachings of the Buddhist School on Engaged Meditation (Yogacara). Translated into clear English and organized in an outline form to make it approachable by anyone, this unique work also provides key terms in Sanskrit and Chinese. These terms have been translated into English in ways that offer a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on their originally intended meaning rather than merely repeating past conventions.

This groundbreaking work provides a unique opportunity for those interested in Buddhism to cut through its seemingly complex array of terms and concepts and make sense of its profound explanation of the human condition.
