What exactly that ultimate nature is, however, remains the subject of debate. Yaroslav Komarovski’s new book appraises how divergent understandings of the ultimate nature by Tibetan thinkers, including ideas informed by two conflicting yet complementary systems of Buddhist thought—Yogācāra and Madhyamaka—affect their diverse approaches to understanding virtue, and how their understandings of virtue in turn relate to their approaches to the Buddhist thought and practice. Tracing the origins of the polemics on ultimate virtue back to the Indian texts and writings of early Tibetan thinkers, Komarovski focuses chiefly on the works of the two seminal thinkers of the Sakya tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, Serdok Penchen Shakya Chokden (1428–1507) and Gowo Rapjampa SÖnam SenggÉ (1429–1489), and offers both a learned summary of a historical controversy and a modern commentary on this vital debate.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 13mmBook Series: Traditions and Transformations in Tibetan BuddhismType: PhilosophyRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
