Dharmakirti on Compassion and Rebirth- With a Study of Backward Causation in Buddhism
Roll over image to zoom in
Product Description
Dharmakirti on Compassion and Rebirth highlights the religious dimension of Buddhist logic and epistemology by way of individual studies on fundamental and controversial philosophical and religious issues in Dharmakīrti’s notions of com-passion, karma, rebirth, the objects of meditation, the reliability of the Buddha, the four noble truths, the path to enlightenment, and related topics. The book also presents the first attempt to translate large portions of Prajnakaragupta’s commentarial masterpiece, the Pramaṇavarttikalankarabhaṣya. At the occasion of its second edition, the book has been supplemented with a new substantial study which addresses a remarkable theory developed by Prajnakaragupta and called “the doctrine of a future cause” (bhavikaranavada). This is a highly original theory of backward causation, or retrocausation, which Prajnakaragupta employs in his proof of rebirth, his explanation of the yogic perception of past and future objects, and his understanding of pervasion (vyapti) as an essential feature of inference.
