Όραμα και Μεταμόρφωση : Μια εισαγωγή στο Ευγενές Οκταπλό Μονοπάτι του Βούδδα
"Όραμα και Μεταμόρφωση: Μια εισαγωγή στο Ευγενές Οκταπλό Μονοπάτι του Βούδδα" by Σανγκαράκσιτα is a philosophical exploration of Buddhism and its ethical teachings likely written in the late 20th century. This work aims to introduce readers to the foundational principles of Buddhism, particularly focusing on the Noble Eightfold Path, while examining the intersection between spiritual practice and everyday life. The opening portion of the text introduces the challenges in defining Buddhism, emphasizing
its non-dogmatic essence and the need for practical teachings as a means of transcending the limitations of the ego. It establishes that Buddhism is rooted in the experiences of the historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, and delineates the core tenets, such as the Four Noble Truths. Moreover, it suggests that personal growth and development in Buddhism hinge on the understanding of interconnectedness, the impermanence of existence, and the ethical imperative towards a compassionate life free from delusion. This initial discussion sets the tone for a deeper examination of Buddhist philosophy as a guide to personal and collective transformation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
