| Abstract | The present article aims to explain Kamala?īla’s understanding of the nature of insight, specifically considering it as the ‘discernment of reality’ (bhūta-pratyavek?ā) -- a technical term identified with insight (vipa?yanā) in the author’s well known Bhāvanākrama? texts. I approach my analysis of bhūta-pratyavek?ā from three different angles. I begin by providing a rationale for its translation. This is followed by an account of Kamala?īla’s reading of key passages in the La?kāvatāra Sūtra describing the process to which the term refers. Here the aim is to illustrate Kamala?īla’s understanding of bhūta-pratyavek?ā as it is actually experienced in meditation. The final section examines bhūta-pratyavek?ā in relation to other important technical terminology employed in the course of making arguments against his historical rival in debate, the Ch’an monk Mo ho yen. By providing these three different perspectives on the same process it is my hope that both scholars and practitioners will be able to more fully comprehend and benefit from the instructions provided by the ancient master Kamala?īla. |
