Genealogies of Mah¿y¿na Buddhism offers a solution to a problem that some have called the holy grail of Buddhist studies: the problem of the ¿origins¿ of Mah¿y¿na Buddhism. In a work that contributes both to a general theory of religion and power for religious studies as well as to the problem of the origin of a Buddhist movement, Walser argues that that it is the neglect of political and social power in the scholarly imagination of the history of Buddhism that has made the origins of Mah¿y¿na an intractable problem. Walser challenges commonly-held assumptions about Mah¿y¿na Buddhism, offering a fascinating new take on its genealogy that traces its doctrines of emptiness and mind-only from the present day back to the time before Mah¿y¿na was ¿Mah¿y¿na.¿ In situating such concepts in their political and social contexts across diverse regimes of power in Tibet, China and India, the book shows that what was at stake in the Mah¿y¿na championing of the doctrine of emptiness was the articulation and dissemination of court authority across the rural landscapes of Asia. This text will be will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students and scholars of Buddhism, religious studies, history and philosophy. No library descriptions found. |
