Altruism and Reality: Studies in the Philosophy of the Bodhicaryavatara
Curzon Press (1998)
| Abstract | This volume brings together Paul Williams's previously published papers on the Indian and Tibetan interpretations of selected verses from the eighth and ninth chapters of the Bodhicaryavatara. In addition, there is a much longer version of the paper 'Identifying the Object of Negation', and nearly half the book consists of a wholly new essay, 'The Absence of Self and the Removal of Pain', subtitled 'How Santideva Destroyed the Bodhisattva Path'. This book will be of interest to those concerned with the history and interpretation of Indian and Tibetan philosophy. | |||||||||
