[WARNING: what follows constitutes a belief on the part of the Writer which may be seen as representing "a View" by those who take great personal pride in being solidly established as "holding no Views".]


The Yogacara as a Buddhist tradition began as a movement devoted to yoga and meditation in the Northwest of India (Gandhara), Afganistan, Pakistan and Kashmir and evolved and prospered between 150 AD and 600 AD which bridged traditonal and Mahayana Buddhism. Building on the emptiness (Madyamaka) school it transformed the Sunyata tradition which rejected the tools and goals of "Hinayana" buddhism but was a project that re-intedgrated all of Buddhism.

Misreprestented as far as their own vision of themselves and their teaching by other Mayanaya voices they became presented in a truncated way when carried into Tibet. Here modern research escavates a powerfull form of Buddhism that represented the peak of thought in India just before it was destroyed. The Yogacara represents a Buddhism that provides a platform for harmony and the possibility of legitamate growth, rather than factionalism and fossilization in Buddhism.

I spent a hour scanning the TOC into my OCR and came back to find I was TFL!

Good job!

The 200 pages describing each of the 17 bhumi in the 14 chapters with lists and references is work the price of the book.

And this is just the 1st Volumn in the series.

And it lists the scholars Numata has on the Yogacara series.

Where is Rev. H.? He needs to be on that group, even with his new responcibilies. His paper on a related topic is well worth the time and effort ... :thumbsup:
