Sommario/riassunto

Nine Canadian scholars of Buddhism consider philosophical and cultural issues in Buddhist thought. Part I, "On Being," discusses the philosophical problem of Being in the school of the Middle Way, Madhyamika Buddhism, and in the Tantric School of Mahayana Buddhism. Part II, "On the Indian Milieu," surveys Hindu views of Buddhism and explores Buddhism's relationship with other Indian religious and philosophical traditions. Part III, "On the Chinese Milieu," analyzes developments in Buddhist thought in China.
