Renowned scholar-monk writes accessibly on some of the most contentious topics in Buddhism-guaranteed to ruffle some feathers.
Armed with his rigorous examination of the canonical records, respected scholar-monk Bhikkhu Analayo explores-and sharply criticizes-four examples of what he terms "superiority conceit" in Buddhism:
Ven. Analayo challenges the scriptural basis for these conceits and points out that adhering to such notions of superiority is not, after all, conducive to practice. "It is by diminishing ego, letting go of arrogance, and abandoning conceit that one becomes a better Buddhist," he reminds us, "no matter what tradition one may follow."
Thoroughly researched, Superiority Conceit in Buddhist Traditions provides an accessible approach to these conceits as academic subjects. Readers will find it not only challenges their own intellectual understandings but also improves their personal practice.
Armed with his rigorous examination of the canonical records, respected scholar-monk Bhikkhu Analayo explores-and sharply criticizes-four examples of what he terms "superiority conceit" in Buddhism:
- the androcentric tendency to prevent women from occupying leadership roles, be these as fully ordained monastics or as advanced bodhisattvas
- the Mahayana notion that those who don't aspire to become bodhisattvas are inferior practitioners
- the Theravada belief that theirs is the most original expression of the Buddha's teaching
- the Secular Buddhist claim to understand the teachings of the Buddha more accurately than traditionally practicing Buddhists
