Beschreibung
The Madhyāntavibhāga is classified by later Indian, Chinese, and Tibetan traditions as belonging to the Yogācāra school, and is considered to be one the treatises of Maitreya. The text offers a treatment of some key doctrines of the Mahāyāna, including the three-nature theory and the doctrine of emptiness, which is addressed in a specifically Yogācāra manner. This volume is divided into two parts. The first part contains a study of the text, including an introduction to Yogācāra philosophy, an overview of the Madhyāntavibhāga-corpus, and a detailed exegesis of the text, incorporating interpretations offered in recent scholarship. The second part contains a fully annotated translation of the text and its commentary, making significant use of Sthiramati's subcommentary in the notes. [Columbia University Press]
