The Gathering of Intentions
Jacob Dalton’s new book, The Gathering of Intentions, which began life as the author’s University of Michigan doctoral dissertation in 2002, presents a useful companion to his earlier book, The Taming of the Demons: Violence and Liberation in Tibetan Buddhism (Yale University Press, 2011). In that work, Dalton examined the important role of themes relating to “demon taming” in the history of Tibetan Buddhism. Central to his narrative was the myth…

Esoteric Buddhism at Dunhuang
Esoteric Buddhism in late first millennium Tibet and China is nowhere in evidence so clearly as in materials from Dunhuang. In the original contributions presented here, Robert Mayer and Cathy Cantwell examine the consecrations of the wrathful divinity Vajrakīlaya, while Sam van Schaik considers approaches to the vows of tantric adepts. Philosophical interpretations of Mahāyoga inform Kammie Takahashi’s study of the ‘Questions of Vajrasattva’. Th…

The Buddhist Dead
In its teachings, practices, and institutions, Buddhism in its varied Asian forms has been—and continues to be—centrally concerned with death and the dead. Yet surprisingly "death in Buddhism" has received little sustained scholarly attention. The Buddhist Dead offers the first comparative investigation of this topic across the major Buddhist cultures of India, Sri Lanka, China, Japan, Tibet, and Burma. Its individual essays, representing a range…
The Buddhist Refusal of Theism
In a celebrated discourse, a seeker of spiritual truth, Malunkyaputta, demands that the Buddha resolve his doubts concerning contested metaphysical matters before accepting the Buddha's teaching, which is intended to secure deliverance from suffering. He wants to know, for instance, whether the universe exists perpetually or not, whether the body and the living soul are identical or not, and whether the enlightened sage survives after death or no…
Le refus bouddhiste du théisme
Le bouddhisme ne semble pas avoir été intéressé, au début, aux questions concernant l’existence et la nature de dieu, les considérant sans importance pour la question de l’affranchissement de la souffrance terrestre qui est au cœur de la sotériologie bouddhiste. Plus tard, la pensée bouddhiste a considéré le théisme incompatible avec la doctrine bouddhiste. Mais, en même temps, le bouddhisme a développé une dimension de dévotion ayant des ressemb…
