Abstract | It is usually held that Buddhism denies the existence of the soul. However,it is only in an empirical sense that this is so. Ultimately speaking,the Madhyamaka school of Mahayana philosophy accepts the reality of "a great soul" in the sense of a principle that guides and is aware. This idea can be traced back to early Vedic sources and it is shared by other schools of classical Indian philosophy. By seeing,through analysis of empirical duality,and by overcoming innate ignorance,a "bodhisattva" (the hero of Mahayana) can realize his true impersonal nature as a great soul by bringing wisdom to perfection a bodhisattva finally becomes a Buddha. |
