From that day on, this simplest yet most profound of teachings was handed down from one generation to the next. At least this is the story that was first recorded a thousand years later, but in China, not in India. Apparently Zen was too simple to be noticed in the land of its origin, where it remained an invisible teaching.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract The Gandavyuha-sutra: a Study of Wealth, Gender and Power in an Indian Buddhist Narrative In this thesis, I examine the roles of wealth, gender and power in the Mahay ana Buddhist scripture known as the Gandavyuha-sutra, using contemporary textual theory, narratology and worldview analysis. I argue that the wealth, gender and power of the spiritual guides (kalyanamitras , literally ‘good friends’) in this narrative reflect the social and political hierarchies and patterns of Buddhist patronage in ancient Indian during the time of its compilation. In order to do this, I divide the study into three parts. In part I, ‘Text and Context’, I first investigate what is currently known about the origins and development of the Gandavyuha, its extant manuscripts, translations and modern scholarship.

EASTERN Buddillst
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE THE EASTERN BUDDIllST SEPTEMBER—DECEMBER, 1922 THE PSYCHOLOGICAL SCHOOL OF MAHAYANA BUDDHISM I AHAYANA Buddhism in India divides itself into two M great schools, the Madhyamika (tfi and the Yogacarya (WSffl)- A closer examination of the history of Buddhism may reveal the existence of other thoughts than these two, though they did not develop into independent systems and for this reason were not recognised in India. We read in I-Tsing’s Correspondence from the Southern Seas (W'i® “ There are two schools only in Mahayana Bud dhism, one is the Madhyamika and the other is the Yogacarya. According to the Madhyamika, things are read when they are viewed in the light of the samvritta truth ^), but they are empty in the light of the paramartha (1#.), they are in essence void like vision. According to the Yogacarya, the external world vislwja) has no reality, but the inner consciousness (|?<], vijndnct) is real, all the particular objects are nothing but the productions of the vijiiana. Both are in accordance with the holy teaching of the Buddha ” The Madyamika and the Yogacarya are generally con trasted, the former is a philosophy of negation or emptiness while the latter studies consciousness as its special subject of 1C6 THE EASTERN BUDDHIST speculation. Tlie ultimate conclusion of the Madliyamika metaphysics is what is known as the system of Sunyatl, while for the Yogacarya the Aliyavijiiana is the final reality. If we designate the former as the ontology of Mahayana Buddhism, the latter will be its cosmogony psychologically constructed.

O Budismo Yogacara: História, Literatura E Doutrina
O budismo Yogacara: história, literatura e doutrina Yogacara buddhism: history, literature and doctrine Nestor Figueiredo* Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar o contexto histórico de emergência da escola Yogacara, a partir de sua formulação inicial dentro da tradição budista Mahayna na Índia e seus textos clássicos de fundação, abordando sumariamente as questões teóricas centrais propostas por essa linha filosófica, recuperando uma análise de parte dessas ideias e estabelecendo considerações de caráter geral com base nesse percurso. Na seção final, trataremos da principal temática em disputa envolvendo estudiosos nessa área. Metodologicamente, portanto, será um texto predominantemente descritivo, sem pretensão analítica, em que procuraremos sintetizar acontecimentos e aspectos teóricos fundamentais relacionados a esta forma de pensamento centrado na mente, partindo de algumas obras relevantes sobre o budismo Yogacara. Palavras-chave: Yogacara. Budismo. Mente. Consciência. Idealismo. Abstract The aim of this paper is to present the historical context of emergence of the Yogacara school, from its initial formulation within the Mahayna Buddhist tradition in India and its classical texts of foundation, briefly comprising the central theoretical questions proposed by this philosophical line, retrieving an analysis of some of these ideas and establishing general considerations based on this path. In the final section, we will deal with the main issue in dispute involving scholars in this area. Therefore, methodologically speaking, it will be a predominantly descriptive text, without analytical pretension, in which we will try to synthesize events and fundamental theoretical aspects related to this mind-centered form of thinking, from some relevant works on Yogacara Buddhism. Keywords: Yogacara. Buddhism. Mind. Consciousness. Idealism.

Following the traditional explanation by Mahayanist schools, Buddhist sutras are classified according to three cycles (dharmacakrapravartana). The first consists in the texts of the so-called "Small Vehicle" (hinayana), which supposedly taught the non-existence of a real personal identity, reducing it to real elements {dharma). The second was the voluminous collection of the Prajnaparamitdsutras, which were said to have taught the idea of the unreality of persons as well as that of the elements, i.
