Introduction To The Middle Way

by Chandrakirti, release date 2005-02-08, Introduction To The Middle Way Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Introduction To The Middle Way books, Introduction to the Middle Way presents an adventure into the heart of Buddhist wisdom through the Madhyamika, or "middle way," teachings, which are designed to take the ordinary intellect to the limit of its powers and then show that there is more. This book includes a verse translation of the Madhyamakavatara by the renowned seventh-century Indian master Chandrakirti, an extremely influential text of Mahayana Buddhism, followed by an exhaustive logical explanation of its meaning by the modern Tibetan master Jamgön Mipham, composed approximately twelve centuries later. Chandrakirti's work is an introduction to the Madhyamika teachings of Nagarjuna, which are themselves a systematization of the Prajnaparamita, or "Perfection of Wisdom" literature, the sutras on the crucial but elusive concept of emptiness. Chandrakirti's work has been accepted throughout Tibetan Buddhism as the highest expression of the Buddhist view on the sutra level. With Jamgön Mipham's commentary, it is a definitive presentation of the wisdom of emptiness, a central theme of Buddhist teachings. This book is a core study text for both academic students and practitioners of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism.

Nagarjuna

by David J. Kalupahana, release date , Nagarjuna Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Nagarjuna books, This is a completely new translation of Nagarjuna's major work, the Mulamadhyamakakarika, accompanied by a detailed annotation of each of the verses. The annotation identifies the metaphysical theories of the scholastics criticized by Nagarjuna, and traces the source material and the arguments utilized in his refutation back to the early discourses of the Buddha. The Introduction presents a completely new hypothesisthe nature of the treatise. The work is a grand commentary on the Buddha's "Discourse to Katyayana" (Kaccayanaqotta-sutta). The concluding part of the Introduction compares the teachings of the Buddha and Nagarjuna in regard to epistemology, ontology, ethics and philosophy of language indicating how the latter was making a determined attempt to reconstruct the Buddha's teachings in a very faithful manner, avoiding the substantialist metaphysics of the scholastics. The book shows that Nagarjuna's ideas are neither original nor are they an advancement from the early Buddhist period. Nagarjuna is not a Mahayanist.

The Middle Way

by Dalai Lama, release date 2009-08-10, The Middle Way Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download The Middle Way books, The Dalai Lama opens The Middle Way with an elegant argument for the power of compassion in cultivating a happy life. From there, he connects core ideas of Buddhist philosophy to the truths of our shared condition. His Holiness delivers a sparklingly clear teaching on how the Buddhist ideas of emptiness and interdependency relate to personal experience and bring a deeper understanding of the world around us. In down-to-earth style, this book sets forth a comprehensive explanation of the foundational teachings of the Mahayana tradition based on the works of two of Buddhism's most revered figures. Using Nagarjuna's Middle Way, the Dalai Lama explores Buddhist understandings of selflessness, dependent origination, and the causal processes that lock us in cycles of suffering. He grounds these heady philosophical discussions using Tsongkhapa's Three Principal Aspects of the Path, presenting a brief explanation of how to put ethical discipline, wisdom, and compassion into practice. Through these beautifully complementary teachings, His Holiness urges us to strive, "with an objective mind, endowed with a curious skepticism, to engage in careful analysis and seek the reasons behind our beliefs."

The Ontology Of The Middle Way

by P. Fenner, release date 2012-12-06, The Ontology Of The Middle Way Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download The Ontology Of The Middle Way books, This study is mainly the outcome of work completed as a Ph.D. thesis at the University of Queensland. However, it has been revised in many ways since its preparation in dissertation form. Many people have contributed to the study and I am concerned that I may fail to mention everyone who has assisted me. My first introduction to The Introduction to the Middle Way (Madhyamakavatara) came through a course I attended at a Buddhist Centre in Queensland called Chenrezig Institute. The course was given by Ven. Geshe Loden, originally of Sera Monastery in India, and was translated by Ven. Zasep Tulku. Besides participating in this course I also attended a number of other courses on Madhyamika presented by these and other lamas in Australia and in Nepal. I was also fortunate to spend a semester at the University of Wisconsin - Madison studying with Professor Geshe Lhundup Sopa. At different times I had the opportunity to discuss, in person or through correspondence, aspects of the study with a number of leading scholars. Professors J.W. de Jong, Robert Thurman, Jeffrey Hopkins and Paul Williams gave freely of their expertise although in some cases I know that I was unable to take full advantage of their suggestions. Special mention and thanks go Professor Fred Streng who supported the study and gave most graciously of his time. In Australia I would like to thank my advisers at the University of Queensland, Drs. Ross Reat, Arvind Sharma and Richard Hutch.

Bekenntnisse Eines Ungl Ubigen Buddhisten

by Stephen Batchelor, release date 2010, Bekenntnisse Eines Ungl Ubigen Buddhisten Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Bekenntnisse Eines Ungl Ubigen Buddhisten books, Die alte Weisheit Buddhas für die Welt von heute An den Buddhismus muss man nicht "glauben"--Und schon gar nicht an Wiedergeburt und Nirwana: Der international bekannte Buddhist und Bestsellerautor Stephen Batchelor befreit die fernöstliche Weisheitslehre vom religiösen Überbau und beweist eindringlich, dass sie vor allem eine praktische Anleitung für ein authentisches Leben im Hier und Jetzt ist. Sein neues Buch ist die spannende Geschichte einer lebenslangen Sinnsuche. Sie wird nicht nur Buddhisten faszinieren, sondern alle "Ungläubigen"auf der Suche nach Orientierung. Als Jugendlicher landet Stephen Batchelor Anfang der 70er Jahre eher zufällig in Indien und entdeckt den Buddhismus. Mit 21 wird er Mönch und beschäftigt sich intensiv mit verschiedenen Formen des tibetischen und des Zen-Buddhismus. Doch bald kommen ihm Zweifel, denn die im Buddhismus so zentrale Vorstellung der Wiedergeburt ist seinem westlich geprägten Denken nicht zugänglich. Batchelors tiefe Glaubenskrise und seine Auseinandersetzung mit dem historischen Buddha bringen ihn zu der Überzeugung, dass man für die zeitlose Weisheit des Buddhismus Worte und Ausdrucksformen finden muss, die auch im Westen verstanden werden. Für ihn ist er keine Religion, sondern der Weg zu einem achtsamen, mitfühlenden Denken und Handeln in einer leiderfüllten Welt - ein Weg, der uns auch heute noch bereichern und erfüllen kann. Stephen Batchelors Geschichte inspiriert alle, für die stetiges Zweifeln und die Auseinandersetzung mit religiösen Dogmen untrennbar mit Erkenntnis und mit Spiritualität verbunden sind. Die packende Geschichte einer Sinnsuche - nicht nur für Buddhisten.

Fundamental Wisdom Of The Middle Way

by Nāgārjuna, release date 2011, Fundamental Wisdom Of The Middle Way Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Fundamental Wisdom Of The Middle Way books, "This is not a standard translation of Mulamadhyamakakarika. Translator Nishijima Roshi believes that the original translation from Chinese into Sanskrit by the Ven. Kumarajiva (circa 400 C.E.) was faulty and that Kumarajiva's interpretation has influenced every other translation since. Avoiding reference to any other translations or commentaries, Nishijima Roshi has translated the entire text anew. This edition is, therefore, like no other. An expert in the philosophical works of Dogen Zenji (1200-1254 CE), Nishijima says in his introduction, "My own thoughts regarding Buddhism rely solely upon what Master Dogen wrote about the philosophy. So when reading the Mulamadhyamakakarika it is impossible for me not to be influenced by Master Dogen's Buddhist ideas." Thus this book is heavily and unabashedly influenced by the work of Master Dogen. Working with Brad Warner, Nishijima has produced a highly readable and eminently practical translation and commentary intended to be most useful to those engaged in meditation practice. The Mulamadhyamakakarika (MMK) was written by Master Nagarjuna, an Indian Buddhist philosopher of the second century. Mahayana Buddhism had arrived at its golden age and Nagarjuna was considered its highest authority. The MMK is revered as the most conclusive of his several Buddhist works. Its extraordinarily precise and simple expression suggests that it was written when Master Nagarjuna was mature in his Buddhist practice and research."--Publisher's website.
