500 _aThis book comprises fifteen research artices primariy based on the discipine of Indian and Buddhist Studies. The coection is designed to propose a Buddhist phiosophy of reigion--that the insight of Prajna and Sunyata initiates a future reigion which is freed both from confict between reasoning and beieving, and from goa-oriented cyces of ife. It addresses transformation from the confict-ridden quest for a supreme being, to the search for a non-theistic nature of spirituaity that provides a foundation for universa human happiness and savation. For the discipine of Buddhist Studies, this coection aso demonstrates the productive vaue of drawing upon cross-cutura and cross-racia iterary sources and traditions.
