Description
The Buddhist Self: On Tathāgatagarbha and Ātman by C. V. Jones explores the concept of tathāgatagarbha, or the "womb" for a Buddha, in Indian Mahāyāna Buddhist texts. This concept is central to understanding the nature of the self in Buddhism, and how it relates to the idea of an enduring, precious essence within all sentient beings. The book examines each of the key Indian Buddhist works that explain tathāgatagarbha, and how they articulate this concept in terms of the self. By examining these texts, Jones sheds light on the development of this central Mahāyāna teaching. This study provides a methodical examination of the tathāgatagarbha concept, offering insights into its significance for understanding Buddhist teachings on the nature of the self.
