内容説明・目次

内容説明

Can enlightenment be attained through words? Understanding Prajna addresses this perennial issue in the study of mysticism through the work of Sengzhao (374-414), a Buddhist scholar-monk whose essay on prajna ("wisdom") created a sensation in early medieval China. Drawing on contemporary hermeneutic theory, this book presents a close reading of Sengzhao's work, placing it in proper context while highlighting his masterful techniques for conveying "wisdom" beyond ordinary language. Understanding Prajna includes translations of Sengzhao's essay and his correspondence with Liu Yimin, a "hermit-scholar" who yearned to grasp the Buddha's sage wisdom.
