SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"The important Buddhist doctrine of the two truths - conventional truths and ultimate truths - is the subject of this book. It examines how the doctrine evolved within early Buddhism from efforts to make sense of contradictions within the collected sayings of the Buddha. Unlike prior books on this topic, which concentrate on the doctrine within the context of the Mahayana, Buescher's examines it within the context of the Hinayana."--Jacket.
