Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Taking language as its general theme, this book explores how the tradition of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist philosophical speculation exemplifies the character of scholasticism. Scholasticism, as an abstract and general category, is developed as a valuable theoretical tool for understanding a variety of intellectual movements in the history of philosophy of religion. The book investigates the Buddhist Scholastic theory and use of scripture, the nature of doctrine and its transcendence in experience, Mahayana Buddhist hermeneutics, the theory and practice of exegesis, and questions concerning the authority of sacred texts. It also deals with the Buddhist Scholastic theory of conceptual thought as the mirror of language, the Scholastic defense of logic and rationality as a method, as well as the role of language in the idealist and nominalist ontologies of the Mahayana. Finally, the author treats the question of ineffability and the silence of the Buddha from a new perspective.

Book Description
The Digha Nikaya or the collection of long doctrinary lectures of the Buddha is one of the five Nikayas or collections belonging to the Suttapitaka or the basket of (Buddha`s) discourses which is one of the three majorr collections of Pali Buddhist texts, the other two being Vinayapitaka and Abhidhammapitaka. It consists of 34 long suttas of which each individual one treats intensively some particular point or points of the doctrine. The Buddha, like other Indian teachers of his time, taught by conversation. He followed the literary habit of his time by embodying his doctrine in set phrases, sutras, on which he enlarged on different occasiions in different ways. When the Buddha died these sayings (suttas) were collected together by his disciples into the great Nikayas of which the present one is the first.

Pages : 458
Book Description
The origin of the Indo-Aryans and their advent in India is shrouded in mystery to this day. An Aryan Journeyis an attempt to bring out the early history of this ethno-linguistic group, using the literature they left behind as their legacy. This meticulously researched book culls evidence from ancient texts to prove that the Indo-Aryans came to India in trade ships and were helped by the people of Indus Valley to settle with them. Using sources such as the Veds and the Avestha, as well as Zoroastrian scriptures and the Shahnama of Firdausi, the author reveals that the Indo-Aryans and the founders of Zoroastrianism belonged to the same ethnic stock. Along with the origins of the Aryan race, he also dwells on the causes of the end of the Indus Valley Civilization. Informative and illuminating, An Aryan Journeyis a must-read for those interested in knowing more about the Aryan civilization.
