Paths to Liberation: The Marga and Its Transformations in Buddhist Thought
ed. by Robert E. Buswell Jr.; Robert M. Gimello
Studies in East Asian Buddhism, #7
Kuroda Institute
“An important book for serious scholars interested in in-depth treatments of a central category of Buddhist thought and praxis.... The editors have brought together an excellent collection of relevant essays.... Scholars interested in Buddhism will find something of importance in every one of the thirteen articles that are included in the collection.” —Journal of Religion 73 (1993)“This collection ... contributes to several different areas of concern in the contemporary study of religion, e.g., the generalization of concepts rooted in the Western religious tradition, the importance of emic categories, and the relation between discursive thought and liberating experience. I highly recommend it.” —Journal of Chinese Religions 21 (1993)
