Book Description

About the Book Systems of Buddhistic Thought by Yamakami Sogen examines the diverse Philosophical frames within Buddhism. The work explores key concepts such as the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the nature of reality as interpreted by different Buddhist schools. Sogen delves into the historical development of these ideas and their impact on Buddhist practice and ethics, highlighting both similarities and differences among various traditions. The book serves as an essential resource for understanding the complexities of Buddhist philosophy and its relevance in contemporary discussions on spirituality and mindfulness.

Preface In the autumn of the year 1906, when I was leaving the shores of Japan, as a Post-Graduate Research Scholar of the Sốtô-shiû Daigak of Tôkiô, with the object of studying Sanskrit and Pali in the land of Buddha's birth, I came across a fellow-passenger, a kind-hearted American gentleman, who, on learning that I was a Buddhist priest, enquired of me in a half-curious, half-condescending manner, what Buddhism really meant. I fully understood the import of the question, and, though my heart was over-flowing with eagerness to explain to my interlocutor the doctrines of the religion in which I had been brought up, I discovered, to my very great regret, that my defective knowledge of the English language proved an unsurmountable barrier to the accomplishment of my pious purpose. A few words of broken English came to my lips and melted there. But my fellow-passenger was inexorable; he was determined to have an answer. Being at a loss to satisfy his laudable curiosity, I went down to my cabin and brought up Hepburn's English-Japanese Dictionary and a brand-new copy of Dr. Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, the parting gift of a benevolent friend and fellow-countryman. The Eng-ish-Japanese Dictionary was unfortunately of little or no use; but Brewer's work appeared for the time being to relieve me of my helplessness. Without hesitating for a single moment, I turned over the leaves of Brewer's book until I came to the article on Buddhism, and showed it to my trans-Atlantic companion who read it with apparent pleasure, thanked me for the information thus supplied, and departed in good humour.

Introduction Buddhism, as is well-known to you, is divided into two great schools, viz., that of the Greater Vehicle or Mahāyānism and that of the lesser or Hinayānism. Mahāyānism again, as is not generally known, is subdivided into developed Mahayanism. This sub-division is not arbitrary, but is based on the historical development of what constitutes the essential theory of Buddhism. Thus the Madhyamikas and the Vijnanavadins fall into the category of Partially developed Mahayanism, while the Aratomsaka School, the Dhyana School, the Mantra School as well as the great Chinese School of Buddhism known as the Tien Tai School are included in Fully developed Mayanism. The grounds on which this classification is based I shall attempt to set forth later on.
