Topics covered include studies on Śūnyatā (emptiness) in Theravāda Buddhism, analyses of Buddhist psychology, Mandana Miśra’s theory of error and its critique in Advaita Vedānta, and surveys of Abhidhamma literature in the Theravāda tradition. Each summary outlines the main arguments of the articles and highlights their contributions, such as clarifying Buddhist theories of perception and exploring the philosophical problems addressed by Mandana Miśra.

  • “In Theravada, he shows that (1) s#ffiata is an equivalent for dependent origination, (2) it is an equivalent for the nature of the phenomenal world as also for Nibbana, the Absolute and (3) the con-ception of Sinyata of Nagarjuna is a more detailed statement of the logical consequences of the Theravada Theory of Causality and sufinata.”
  • “Logic and mysticism are not opposed to each other in Advaitism. They supplement and fulfil each other.”
