DESCRIPTION
According to I. Ching's report from India (A.D. 691), Mahayana Buddhism was divided into two schools, the Madhyamika and the Yogacara. The articles presented in this volume have one thing in common. Each one is a step towards establishing the relational Nature between Madhyamika and Yogacara. That is, according to Professor Nagao, the two Traditions are not separate and independent but each augment the other. The Madhyamika thought of sunyata was extended by the Yogacara by their system of the Three-nature theory that depended upon a Logic of convertibility. Throughtout these papers, Professor Nagao's constant effort is to synthesize the two systems.
