Bringing together contributions from North America, UK, Europe and
Asia into a single volume, this book advances scholarship in Buddhist
studies and celebrates Rupert Gethin's immense contribution to the
field. Essays include explorations of Buddhist teachings, scriptural
studies and cover the fields of research that engage Rupert Gethin's
scholarship: Buddhist cosmology, textual translations, Abhidharma and
the interface between Buddhism and modern science. Scholars address
themes associated with Buddhist thought and practice, including
philosophy of mind and the relationship between artificial
intelligence and Buddhist ethics. Translations and analyses of a
variety of written materials span several genres and ages: Gandhari
manuscripts, Vinaya commentaries, Buddhist Sanskrit imagery and
Tibetan translations of late Indian texts. To acknowledge Rupert
Gethin's important and expansive contribution to the field of
Abhidharma, the book offers explorations into Abhidharma terminology,
its commentaries and texts associated with early Buddhist schools. The
volume also highlights the intricacies of Abhidharma, the interplay of
Buddhism and modern technology, and how language shared between Pali
and Sanskrit illuminates Buddhist doctrines.
