A translation of Vasubandhu’s Abhidharma Kosa Bhasyam.
The Sanskrit word “Abhidharma” means the systematic philosophy of Buddhism. From the time of the Buddha onward, the Buddha’s disciples, and many later generations of his followers studied, analyzed, and re-classified the teachings of the Buddha, and in the process created a unique field of study which has come to be known as the Abhidharma. Only a small but important portion of Abhidharma literature has been preserved in its original Sanskrit: Vasubandhu’s Abhidharmakosabhasyam, and its commentary, Yasomitra’s Vyakhya

Empty Words: Buddhist Philosophy and Cross-Cultural Interpretation
By; Garfield, Jay L.
|
Our Price: $27.50
Members Price: $24.75
|
|
|
Jay Garfield's magisterial translation of Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika (The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way) has established itself as the definitive edition of this foundational Indian Buddhist philosophical text. Nagarjuna is the founder - and his work the foundational text - of the Madhyamaka (or Middle Path) school of Mahayana Buddhism, which predominates in Tibet, China, Mongolia, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan. In this book, a companion and supplement to his translation and commentary, Garfield presents fourteen of his essays on Nagarjuna, Madhyamaka, Yogacara and related themes in Buddhist philosophy.
In this volume, Garfield supplements and extends his work on the Mulamadhyamakakarika . He then explores topics in Yogacara philosophy through the works of Vasubandhu and Sthiramati. These discussions focus on Buddhist accounts of the limits of thought and language, of causality, and of the structure of subjectivity. Garfield next addresses the connections and tensions between Buddhist ethics and the liberal democratic discourse of moral and political rights. He concludes by examining the moral and epistemological problems that arise in cross-cultural studies.
The culmination of a decade of research and writing, Empty Words adds new depth to our understanding of Buddhist thought, its relationship to western philosophy, and the nature of cross-cultural scholarship itself.

Seven Works of Vasubandhu
By: Stefan Anacker

Our Price: $29.50
Members Price: $26.55
|
|
|
Vasubandhu, one of the most famous Mahayana Buddhist philosophers, wrote works on a vast variety of subjects. This collection of translations includes the Vada-Vidhi, a work on logic; the Panca-skandhaka-prakarana, which deals with the 'aggregates' making up 'personality'; the Karmasiddhi-prakarana, which in explaining psychic continuity, also attacks many features of earlier Buddhist psychology; the famous Vimsatika and Trimsika, which take Buddhist psychology into hitherto unexplored areas; the Madhyanta-Vibhaga-bhasya, one of the most profound books for Mahayana realization; and the Tri-svabhava-nirdesa which shows a way for ridding consciousness of ensnaring mental constructions.

Three Texts on Consciousness Only
By: Hsuan-tsang / Vasubandhu
|
Our Price: $45.00
Members Price: $40.50
|
|
|
Contents:
"Demonstration of Consciousness Only" by Hsuan-tsang
The name of the text translated as "Demonstration of Consciousness Only" is Ch'eng wei-shih lun. Its author was a Chinese monk-scholar Hsuan-tsang (600-64), who also translated about seventy-five Sanskrit Buddhist texts.
The Ch'eng wei-shih lun is presented simply as a translation of Vasubandhu's "Verses" and the commentaries, but in fact Hsuan-tsang was selective in his use and the commentaries; he seems to have decided that Dharmapala's interpretation of the "Verses" was the correct one. Consequently of the ten commentaries, only three are consistently used, with a fourth occasionally appearing.

Universal Vehicle Discourse Literature, Mahayanasutralamkara
By: Maitreya / Asanga
|
Our Price: $49.00

|
Universal Vehicle Discourse Literature (Mahayanasutralamkara) was transmitted from the bodhisattva Maitreyanatha to Arya Asanga, the fourth century Indian Buddhist scholar-adept. The most foundational of the set of the famous Five Teachings of Maitreya, the Discourse Literature is considered the wellspring of what the Tibetans call the “magnificent deeds trend of the path,” the compassion side, which balances the “profound view trend of the path,” the wisdom side.

|
Our Price: $42.00
Members Price: $37.80
|
|
|
With English introduction, Tibetan and Sanskrit texts.
The Pancaskandhaka consists of a list of all factors of reality with their definitions and, in line with Asagga's Abhidharmasamuccaya, a succinct summary of Buddhist philosophical scholasticism as presented in the Yogacara-Vijñanavada tradition . This small treatise, highly important for the history of Buddhist philosophy, was known until now only through its Tibetan and Chinese translations and is published here for the first time in its Sanskrit original. This critical edition is based on a photocopy kept in the library of the China Tibetology Research Center, Beijing, of a codex unicus found in the manuscript collection of the Potala in Lhasa, as well as on numerous secondary testimonies. It is accompanied by a diplomatic edition of the text, as well as reading editions of the Tibetan and Chinese translations. A short introduction provides basic information about Vasubandhu's work in general as well as detailed information about this unique manuscript. In addition to the text of the Pañcaskandhaka, a text from the verso of the cover page, as yet unidentified, has been edited by Toru Tomabechi and is included in the appendix.

Our Price: $13.50

Presented here is an English translation of a marvelous treatise by Vasubandhu Bodhisattva on the most crucial of all topics in Mahayana Buddhism, namely, the altruistic resolve on the part of the bodhisattva to gain the utmost, right, and perfect enlightenment of a buddha. Although there are numerous examples of primary and secondary works in the Mahayana canon focusing on the resolve to become a buddha, the translator says he has yet found none which so completely and concisely distills into a short and potent work all of the metaphysical teachings and bodhisattva path practices most directly relevant to this most essential of bodhisattva vows.
This is Vasubandhu's treatise on the meaning of the
Sutra
on Generating the Resolve to Become a Buddha.
