The Magic of the Mind:: An Exposition of the Kalakarama Sutta

Bhikkhu Nanananda
4.9/5 (16312 ratings)
Description:Book by Nanananda, BhikkhuFrom the inside cover: This book presents an exposition of the Kàlakàrama Sutta — a canonical discourse with a hallowed tradition which has fallen into neglect at present. The terse discourse of the Buddha is given in an annotated translation prologued by a humorously conceived parable of a Magic Show. A detailed and penetrative exposition of the discourse draws out the psychological and philosophical implications of the text. As the title indicates, the main theme is the illusory nature of consciousness. The exposition centers on a discussion of the Law of Dependent Arising (Paticca-Samuppàda) as a Golden Mean which freely transcends the dualities of Existence and Non-existence and Mind-and-Matter. As in the author's earlier work, 'Concept and Reality in Early Buddhist Thought', here too the nature of concepts forms an important subject. Observations on the relation between word and meaning are likely to be of relevance to linguistics and semantic philosophy. An attempt is also made to reconcile the negative and positive definitions of Nibbàna — the summum bonum which holds the prospect of inward peace through the stilling of all mental formations.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
