Causality The Central Philosophy of Buddhism - In recent years Western interest in Buddhism has been directed mainly to Mahayana traditions, principally to the Madhyamika school of Nagarjuna and to Zen. Professor Kalupahana is to be warmly commended for turning our attention back to the philosophical riches of the early schools, where , together with profound spiritual concerns, a good deal of sharp philosophical analysis is to be found. The author offers us as well a comprehensive historical background to Buddhist ' phenomenalism' and unravels many of the complexities in the schools associated with the so-called Theravada tradition and the later Mahayana developments.
“WE ARE OUR MINDS NOT OUR BRAINS – THE BUDDHA DISCOVERED” is the latest addition to books on Buddhism, where our understanding of karma is enhanced by scientific principles, providing, for the first time, a revolutionary rendering of karma revealing a fascinating insight into what we really are.
