| Abstract | "This book, touching on interrelated areas of Buddhist ontology, epistemology, and ethics, discusses conflicting positions of Tibetan Buddhist thinkers on the issue of the ultimate as a virtue, exploring how their interpretations of the nature of ultimate reality shape their philosophical approaches to virtue. Tracing the origins of the polemics on the ultimate virtue back to the Indian texts and writings of early Tibetan thinkers, the book focuses on the writings of the two seminal thinkers of the Sakya tradition: Serdok Penchen Shakya Chokden and Gowo Rapjampa Sönam Senggé"-- Provided by publisher. |
