Superiority Conceit in Buddhist Traditions: A Historical Perspective by Bhikkhu Analayo
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3 MB
Overview: Renowned scholar-monk writes accessibly on some of the most contentious topics in Buddhism—guaranteed to ruffle some feathers.
Armed with his rigorous examination of the canonical records, respected scholar-monk Bhikkhu Analayo explores—and sharply criticizes—four examples of what he terms “superiority conceit” in Buddhism:
-the androcentric tendency to prevent women from occupying leadership roles, be these as fully ordained monastics or as advanced bodhisattvas
-the Mahayana notion that those who don’t aspire to become bodhisattvas are inferior practitioners
-the Theravada belief that theirs is the most original expression of the Buddha’s teaching
-the Secular Buddhist claim to understand the teachings of the Buddha more accurately than traditionally practicing Buddhists
