How a Greek philosopher's encounters with Buddhism in Central Asia influenced Western philosophy
Pyrrho of Elis went with Alexander the Great to Central Asia and India during the Greek invasion and conquest of the Persian Empire in 334-324 BC. There he met with early Buddhist masters. Greek Buddha shows how their Early Buddhism shaped the philosophy of Pyrrho, the famous founder of Pyrrhonian scepticism in ancient Greece.
Christopher I. Beckwith traces the origins of a major tradition in Western philosophy to Gandhara, a country in Central Asia and northwestern India. He systematically examines the teachings and practices of Pyrrho and of Early Buddhism, including those preserved in testimonies by and about Pyrrho, in the report on Indian philosophy two decades later by the Seleucid ambassador Megasthenes, in the first-person edicts by the Indian king Devanampriya Priyadarsi referring to a popular variety of the Dharma in the early third century BC, and in Taoist echoes of Gautama's Dharma in Warring States China. Beckwith demonstrates how the teachings of Pyrrho agree closely with those of the Buddha Sakyamuni, the Scythian Sage. In the process, he identifies eight distinct philosophical schools in ancient northwestern India and Central Asia, including Early Zoroastrianism, Early Brahmanism, and several forms of Early Buddhism. He then shows the influence that Pyrrho's brand of scepticism had on the evolution of Western thought, first in Antiquity, and later, during the Enlightenment, on the great philosopher and self-proclaimed Pyrrhonian, David Hume.
Greek Buddha demonstrates that through Pyrrho, Early Buddhist thought had a major impact on Western philosophy.

Описание: This book explores the role of altered states of consciousness in the communication of social and emotional energies, both on a societal level and between individual persons. Drawing from an original reading of Durkheimian social theorists (including Mauss, Hertz, and Hubert) and Jungian psychology, Louise Child applies this analysis to tantric Buddhist ritual and biographical material. She suggests ways in which dreams and visionary experiences (including those related to the 'subtle body') play an important and previously under-explored role in tantric understandings of the consort relationship.
Описание: The Ten Kings hanging scrolls at Tokyo's Seikad? Bunko Art Museum are among the most resplendent renderings of the Buddhist purgatory extant, but their origin and significance have yet to be fully explored. Cheeyun Kwon unfurls this exquisite set of scrolls within the existing Ten Kings painting tradition while investigating textual, scriptural, archaeological, and visual materials from East Asia to shed light on its possible provenance. She constructs a model scheme of the paintings' evolution based on more than five hundred works and reveals channels of popularization, mass production, and agglomeration.The earliest images of the Ten Kings are found in the tenth-century s?tra The Scripture of the Ten Kings, known to be the work of the monk Zangchuan. By the mid-twelfth century, typological conventions associated with the Ten Kings were widely established, and paintings depicting them, primarily large-scale and stand-alone, became popular export commodities, spreading via land and sea routes to the Korean peninsula and the Japanese archipelago. An examination of materials in Korea suggests a unique development path for Ten Kings subject matter, and this—in conjunction with a close analysis of the Seikad? paintings—forms the core of Kwon's book. Among the Korean works discussed is a woodblock edition of The Scripture of the Ten Kings from 1246. It is markedly different from its Chinese counterparts and provides strong evidence of the subject's permutations during the Kory? period (918–1392), when Northern Song (960–1127) visual art and culture were avidly imported. In the Seikad? paintings, Northern Song figural, architectural, landscape, and decorative elements were acculturated to the Kory? milieu, situating them in the twelfth to early thirteenth centuries and among the oldest and most significant surviving examples of Kory? Buddhist painting.Efficacious Underworld fills major lacunae in Korean, East Asian, and Ten Kings painting traditions while illuminating Korea's contribution to the evolution of a Buddhist theme on its trajectory across East Asia. With its rich set of color reproductions and detailed analysis of textual and visual materials, this volume will invite significant revision to previously held notions on Kory? painting.
A comprehensive guide to the fundamentals of Buddhism, how it specifically evolved in Tibet and the Himalaya, and how it is practised today in Tibet, India, Nepal and Bhutan.
This is a good introduction for the general public, and travellers to the region, including the many trekkers who now venture into these parts. The book avoids the overtly religious or academic tone found in some other texts on the subject. It is abundantly illustrated, with over three hundred photographs, annotated images and maps.
Written by Colin Stump, who previously managed a global group of adventure travel companies, this book aims to demystify some of the complexities that travellers in the region will see.
What are prayers flags for? What do all these angry-looking deities on the temple walls mean? What is tantra? What are the monks trying to achieve when they meditate? Why are there so many different buddhas? Who is the Dalai Lama?
The book begins with a straightforward explanation of the basic principles of Buddhism and how the fundamental philosophies evolved into Mahayana, and ultimately the more esoteric form, Vajrayana or Tantric Buddhism, popularly known today as Tibetan Buddhism.
Explanation of ritual, practise, and the supporting iconography is given, aided by plentiful colour images, maps, and illustrations. Each of the main traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, Nyingma, Sakya, Kagy , and Geluk are covered in turn, with some history, and then detail on their specific practises and institutions.
Finally, Buddhism as practised in India, now home to many Tibetan refugees, Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet is covered, bringing the reader right up to date with the challenges facing this fascinating tradition.

What is wisdom? Who is wise? Can wisdom be developed? These are the questions Horner sets out to answer, from a Buddhist perspective. The author sets forth 12 pillars of wisdom that are easily accessed and applied, not only to Buddhism but life in general.
