PLI BUDDHISM

CURZON STUDIES IN ASIAN PHILOSOPHY

Series Editors:
Indira Mahalingam

Lecturer in Law
University of Exeter

Brian Carr

Senior Lecturer in Philosophy
University of Nottingham

The Curzon Studies in Asian Philosophy are collections of papers centering on various themes presented in a manner that does not presuppose the specialist linguistic knowledge which has tended to make these traditions closed to the wider philosophical audience. Among the projected volumes, some reflect recent conferences and others are papers specially written for the series. Some have grown out of recent controversies in the Carfax journal Asian Philosophy.

The co-editors would like to offer special thanks as follows:

to Professor Masatoshi Nagatomi for introducing Prof. Hoffman to Ven. Deegalle on the occasion of the National Endowment for the Humanities Summer 1988 Institute, Teaching Comparative Courses (directed by Professors Carman and Graham);

to Professor Ninian Smart for encouraging the compilation of these papers on Pali Buddhism from the outset of our endeavor;

to series editors, Drs. Indira Mahalingam and Brian Carr, for their invitation to submit this volume for consideration as part of the Curzon Studies in Asian Philosophy Series;

and to Martina and Malcolm Campbell of Curzon Press and David McCarthy of Laserscript Limited, for their thoughtful effort and resourceful management in matters of production.

Thanks are due to the State System of Higher Education of Pennsylvania for a SSHE 1/4 release-time grant with which to do research, writing, and editing pertaining to this anthology during 199192. West Chester University College of Arts and Sciences manuscript typist, Anne Raeburn, did the bulk of the typing.

Thanks are due also to the South Asia Regional Studies Department (SARS), University of Pennsylvania; especially to South Asia Bibliographer Ms. Kanta Bhatia and Dr. Richard Cohen for their support and advice, and to Karen and Lavinia for occasional practical office support. The availability of the Van Pelt Library through a reciprocal agreement between member institutions of the Greater Philadelphia Philosophy Consortium, especially access to the W. Norman Brown collection in South Asian Studies, facilitated this work and is much appreciated.

Deegalle Mahinda expresses gratitude to his preceptor, the Venerable Galaua Medhakara, and his mentor, Professor Frank E. Reynolds of the University of Chicago, for their far-sighted guidance and support. Thanks are due to Prof. M.A. Dhaky and Mr. R. Sharma for permission to use photographs from the American Institute of Indian Studies, Varanasi, in Plates produced herein. Manvendra Jhala and Thomas Radice, Philosophy students in the 199495 Buddhist Texts Discussion Group, contributed to the proofreading effort and helped with the index at the West Chester University.

Any errors which occur despite such excellent support are the full responsibility of the co-editors.
