To See the Buddha : A Philosopher's Quest for the Meaning of Emptiness Paperback / softback
by Malcolm David Eckel
Paperback / softback
Description
Malcolm David Eckel takes us on a contemporary quest to discover the essential meaning behind the Buddha's many representations.
Eckel's bold thesis proposes that the proper understanding of Buddhist philosophy must be thoroughly religious--an understanding revealed in Eckel's new translation of the philospher Bhavaviveka's major work, The Flame of Reason.
Eckel shows that the dimensions of early Indian Buddhism--popular art, conventional piety, and critical philosophy--all work together to express the same religious yearning for the fullness of emptiness that Buddha conveys.
