| 摘要 | Bhikkhu Ñāṇananda’s Concept and Reality has exerted a certain influence on Buddhist Studies, from translations of the Pāli Nikāyas to interpretations of doctrine. Far beyond proposing translations for papañca and papañca-saññāsaṅkhā, the book lays out a thesis, supported and illustrated by frequent citations from the Nikāyas, concerning the role of concepts and language itself in perpetuating bondage to saṃsāra. Concepts and language are said to obscure reality in a self-perpetuating cycle that bars us from liberation. The thesis has intuitive force and profound implications for understanding the Pāli sources. However, the presentation is flawed by inconsistencies, lack of clarity, and overly interpretive translations of the Pāli — it is not even clear in important details precisely what Ñāṇananda’s intended thesis is. The present offering is an attempt at clarifying this seminal work so as to enable building upon it. The given thesis is elucidated, making its problems explicit, and suggesting resolutions, arriving finally with a proposal of what he may have intended. Along the way, I indicate where given support from the Nikāyas is weak. |
