Tradycja buddyjska: theravada

Opis: This important work will appeal to scholars and to students. It's an outstanding, and in some ways a singular, resource.

The authors examine how classical Buddhist texts describe Nibbana (Nirvana). Even though it's the "goal" of the Buddhist life, Nibbana is rarely discussed, so people wanting a concrete goal to motivate them are often left in the dark. The authors certainly agree no one can adequately describe Nibbana, and any discussion involves risks of misinterpretation, but they know the value of examining how Nibbana has been characterized in the texts, in descriptions of the Buddha's life, and in subsequent writings. This is an exceptional goal, and the authors manage it nicely IMHO.

The book is well-organized, well-written, well-thought out, interesting, and valuable; the authors have given us a labor of love. The authors, who are dedicated monastics, also have considerable experience and credibility within the modern Buddhist Dharma community.
