Description

This book, 'Buddhist Insight' has been included twenty-four of the author's research papers around the topic of Buddhist insight, and includes only strong, well developed papers consistent with the topic. The papers are ranged under the headings, I. Buddhist Practice, II. Buddhist Doctrine, III. Interpretative Studies of Buddhism, IV. Texts of the Asanga School, V. Hindu and Buddhist Studies. The papers begin with 'Buddha as Savior' among the latest (1980) and end with the earliest (1959) in this volume, 'Twenty one Praises of Tara'. Part IV is especially valuable for its three seminal texts which was edited by the author in Sanskrit. The Hindu and Buddhist Studies illustrate the author's comparative approach by showing both sides in their strong independence, and sensitively revealing their relation.
