Empty Vision: Metaphor and Visionary Imagery in Mahayana Buddhism
ISBN: 9781138862609 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Visual metaphors in a number of Mahayana sutras construct a discourse in which visual perception serves as a model for knowledge and enlightenment. In the Perfection of Wisdom (Prajnaparamita) and other Mahayana literature, immediate access to reality is symbolized by vision and set in opposition to language and conceptual thinking, which are construed as obscuring reality. In addition to its philosophical manifestations, the tension between vision and language also functioned as a strategy of legitimation in the struggle of the early heterodox Mahayana movement for authority and legitimacy....

The Making of Buddhist Modernism
ISBN: 9780195183276 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A great deal of Buddhist literature and scholarly writing about Buddhism of the past 150 years reflects, and indeed constructs, a historically unique modern Buddhism, even while purporting to represent ancient tradition, timeless teaching, or the "essentials" of Buddhism. This literature, Asian as well as Western, weaves together the strands of different traditions to create a novel hybrid that brings Buddhism into alignment with many of the ideologies and sensibilities of the post-Enlightenment West. In this book, David McMahan charts the development of this "Buddhist modernism."...

Meditation, Buddhism, and Science
ISBN: 9780190495794 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.
