Bhrāntivāda : reading the Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra in lieu of metaphysics

Abstract

The thesis, entitled "Bhrantivada: Reading the Lankavatara Sutra in Lieu of Metaphysics," examines the use of metaphors of place in the Sanskrit text of the Lankavatara Sutra. The incorporation of the fundamental doctrines of the text within a system of ascending "stages" is given particular attention, as this scheme presents the practical goals of the text by means of expressions of entry and abiding within "realms".
