Opis

This volume primarily focuses upon the Yogacara-Vijnanavadin concepts of mind and its means of expression such as the various consciousnesses, the nature of the bijas, and the alayavijnana. From this basis, related topics such as the nature of light, the simile of a river with respect to the flow of a consciousness-stream, and the na?is that convey pra?as, are explored. This allows consideration of the attributes of time and certain chakras that exist below the diaphragm. The soul concept then comes into view and its relation to śunyata is revealed.
