Description
This volume deals with the Sarv stiv da school of Buddhism, the major philosophical school of H nay na. First a general outline is given of the school’s origin in the (Indian) Buddhist synods. Part one ends with a general survey of Sarv stiv da Literature.In the actual corpus the philosophical texts of Sarv stiv da are treated in detail. The organization of the work follows the geographical spread of Sarv stiv da. In these Parts special emphasis is laid on the Central Asian history of the school, as well as on how the school eventually reached China (‘Abhidharma and Kosa Schools’). Treatment is based on the Chinese versions of the major works of the school (S trapit aka, Abhidarmapit aka and Vinayapit aka).All in all, this major work throws a new light on the relationship between Sarv stiv da and M lasarv stiv da and provides an innovative view on the D rst tantika and Sautr ntika Schools.
