DESCRIPTION
This work is a unique attempt to classify the developments and evolution of Buddhist doctrine through simple charts.
The nature of Buddhist doctrines, as promulgated by the different Buddhist philosophers, is so very complex that it is impossible for beginners to understand them easily without a clear and comprehensive manual.
The author created these charts as a convenient and effective method to teach his students the history and philosophy of Buddhism. Not only beginners but also teachers, researchers and writers will find the charts useful.
Some eight different sets of doctrines have been summarised. They are: (i) the original doctrines of Buddha; (ii) the Sthaviradin doctrines; (iii) the Mahasanghika doctrines; (iv) the doctrine of Asvaghosa I; (v) the doctrines of Harivarman; (vi) the doctrines of Nagajuna; (vii) the doctrines of Asanga and Vasubandhu; and (viii) the doctrines of Asvaghosa II.
Each set of these doctrines has been dealt with as a separate topic in a separate chart as follows: (1) Cosmology - (i) Essentialism, (ii) Phenomena-rise [(a) Ontology; (b) Phenomenology]; (2) Theory of Human Being; (3) Theory of Suffering; (4) Theory of Religious Austerities; (5) Different Stages of the Religieux; (7) Theory of Salvation; and (8) Theory of Buddhakaya.
