| Summary: | This book contains a critical Sanskrit edition of the first five chapters of the Madhyamakāvatārabhāṣya, a work that presents the steps of the path to full Awakening according to the “Great Vehicle” of Buddhism. The author of the work, the Indian scholar Candrakīrti (circa A.D. 570–650), is one of the most important representatives of the Madhyamaka, the “Middle Way,” school—one of the two main schools of the Great Vehicle—which was founded by Nāgārjuna in the second or third century. Dieses Buch beinhaltet eine kritische und eine diplomatische Textausgabe der ersten fünf Kapitel des in Sanskrit verfassten Werkes Madhyamakāvatārabhāṣya, das die Stufen am Weg zur Erleuchtung gemäß des "Großen Fahrzeugs" des Buddhismus darstellt. Der Verfasser dieses Werkes, Candrakīrti (etwa 570–650), ist einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter einer der beiden Hauptrichtungen des "Großen Fahrzeugs", nämlich des von Nagarjuna im zweiten oder dritten Jahrhundert begründeten Madhyamaka, des "Mittleren Weges". |
