Early Monastic Buddhism v1.c9.6

v1.c9.6

Though in the Buddhist texts, the problems have been treated as avyākata (inexplainable) and not conducive to the spiritual welfare of the inquiries, we find that in the Saṃyutta Nikāya (iv. pp. 382ff.), the Mādhyamikavṛtti and a few other Mahāyāna texts, there are attempts to offer an explanation of the problems. These have been, in fact, utilized in the Mahāyānic texts to establish their contention of Śūnyatā or Vijñānamātratā.
