Product Description

Review

'A well-researched and lucid exposition of an old Buddhist school of thought that is usually seen as hopelessly complex and difficult' - Bibliographia Missionaria

'His unique approach ... both in content and style, may be the most formidable aspect of this discursive, incisive, often brilliant, 600 page work.' - H-Buddhism, H-Net Reviews

Product Description

A richly complex study of the Yogacara tradition of Buddhism, divided into five parts: the first on Buddhism and phenomenology, the second on the four basic models of Indian Buddhist thought, the third on karma, meditation and epistemology, the fourth on the Trimsika and its translations, and finally the fifth on the Ch'eng Wei-shih Lun and Yogacara in China.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and Penetrating Treatment of Yogacara Thought, Jun 13 2009

By A. C. Muller - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Buddhist Phenomenology: A Philosophical Investigation of Yogacara Buddhism and the Ch'eng Wei-shih Lun (Paperback)

Western students of Yogacara Buddhism have long been in need of full-length work that analyzes the key Yogacara problematic concepts in a comprehensive manner. Due to the lack of such a text, many non-specialists have been forced to rely on the accounts provided in reference and survey works, which have tended to offer vague and confusing interpretations of what the tradition actually represents. In writing Buddhist Phenomenology, Dan Lusthaus has provided us with the most comprehensive and coherent response to these needs seen in recent years. Having spent decades reading descriptions of the school written by both classical and modern scholars that he considers to have missed the point in one way or another, the aim of his writing of Buddhist Phenomenology is to set the meaning of Yogacara straight. In so doing, he provides a re-articulation of Yogacara that amounts to a must-read for anyone with an interest in this seminal Buddhist system.
