Original titleSkillful Means: The Heart of Buddhist Compassion (Monograph of the Society for Asian and Comparative Philosophy)
This book investigates both the philosophical and religious dimensions of Buddhism. It explores the role of meditation and spiritual methodology in the various schools of Buddhism and offers a critical, philosophical analysis of how liberation is conceived by important Buddhist thinkers. It is therefore useful not only for Buddhist scholars, but also for students enrolled in courses in Buddhist philosophy and religion.
