    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Throughout the centuries, moral philosophers, both Eastern and Western, considered a permanent and eternal law a necessary requirement for the formulation of a moral principle. If such a law was not empirically given, it had to be determined through reason. In contrast, early Buddhism presented a radical theory of impermanence. Interpreters of early Buddhism have been unable to abandon the presupposition of permanence, however, and hence have persisted in viewing nirvana or freedom as a permanent and eternal state to be contrasted with the impermanent world of sensory experience and bondage. Ethics in Early Buddhism is David J. Kalupahana&#039;s balanced and brilliantly concise attempt to place the early Buddhist descriptions of the world of experience, the state of freedom, and the moral principle leading to such freedom within the framework of impermanence.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;Introduction to the Middle Way presents an adventure into the heart of Buddhist wisdom through the Madhyamika, or &quot;middle way,&quot; teachings, which are designed to take the ordinary intellect to the limit of its powers and then to show that there is more.&quot; &quot;This book includes a verse translation of the Madhyamakavatara by the renowned seventh-century Indian master Chandrakirti, an extremely influential text of Mahayana Buddhism, followed by an exhaustive logical explanation of its meaning by the modern Tibetan master Jamgon Mipham, composed approximately twelve centuries later. Chandrakirti&#039;s work is an introduction to the Madhyamika teachings of Nagarjuna, which are themselves a systematization of the Prajnaparamita, or &quot;Perfection of Wisdom&quot; literature, the sutras on the crucial but elusive concept of emptiness.&quot;--Jacket.]]></dcterms:description>
