Abhidharma Buddhism to 150 A.D.Karl H. Potter Motilal Banarsidass Publ., 1970 - 636 pagine Astavakragita (The Song of the Self Supreme) contains the Sanskrit text of Astavakragita (both in Nagari and Roman script), its English translation, Exegesis and Glossarial Index. It presents in twenty chapters the substance of Astavakra`s teaching in respect of the Cosmic Self in the form of his dialogue with Janaka, the seer-king of Videha. The teaching is based on the Upanisadic creed of Absolute monism (Advaitavada) that identifies the Self with the non-dual Ultimate Reality. But the contribution of Astavakra is also immense, for he has introduced the element of emotional experience or the mystical feeling as the means for realizing the non-dual nature of the Self. Written in a lucid style and dealing systematically with the subject matter, the book will hold a unique position among the contemplative classics of the world. |

Pagina 51 - Just as a mother would protect her only child, At the risk of her own life : even so let him cultivate a boundless heart towards all beings.
Pagina 13 - I ate so little, my limbs became like the knotted joints of withered creepers, my buttocks like a bullock's hoof, my protruding backbone like a string of beads, my gaunt ribs like the crazy rafters of a tumble-down shed.
Pagina 48 - As I am, so are they; as they are, so am I; thus one should identify oneself with all that lives, and should not kill, nor hurt any living being.
