What is Buddhist philosophy. The meaning of Buddhist philosophy pronunciation Buddhist philosophy definition Buddhist philosophy How to say Buddhist philosophy

Buddhist philosophy refers to the philosophical investigations and systems
of inquiry that developed among various Buddhist schools in India following
the death of the Buddha and later spread throughout Asia. Buddhism's main
concern has always been freedom from dukkha (unease), and the path to that
ultimate freedom consists in ethical action (karma), meditation and in direct
insight (prajña) into the nature of "things as they truly are" (yathābhūtaṃ
viditvā). Indian Buddhists sought this understanding not just from the
revealed teachings of the Buddha, but through philosophical analysis and
rational deliberation. Buddhist thinkers in India and subsequently in East
Asia have covered topics as varied as phenomenology, ethics, ontology,
epistemology, logic and philosophy of time in their analysis of this path.

Early Buddhism was based on empirical evidence gained by the sense organs (
ayatana ) and the Buddha seems to have retained a skeptical distance from
certain metaphysical questions, refusing to answer them because they were not
conducive to liberation but led instead to further speculation. A recurrent
theme in Buddhist philosophy has been the reification of concepts, and the
subsequent return to the Buddhist Middle Way.

Particular points of Buddhist philosophy have often been the subject of
disputes between different schools of Buddhism. These elaborations and
disputes gave rise to various schools in early Buddhism of Abhidharma, and to
the Mahayana traditions and schools of the prajnaparamita, Madhyamaka, Buddha-
nature and Yogacara.Thanks for Watching please like and subscribe!
