This course introduces Buddhist philosophy by directly reading the original texts, by selecting the classics from the “Madhyamika” school and late stages of Indian Buddhist philosophy, in particular, the three modules of Indian Buddhist philosophy in the middle and late periods —— Madhyamika, Mind-Only and Logic schools.

This course is different from the general selection of Buddhist Sutras. The Buddhist scriptures are divided into three parts: Sutra, Vinaya and Abhidharma. The Abhidharma part is the most important medium of Indian Buddhist philosophy. In the middle and late period of Buddhist philosophy, there are many theories which have not been translated into Chinese, or the Chinese translation is not perfect. We will use the combination of English translation and the original to teach. The problems discussed in these theories are closely related to the general problems of philosophy, so this course is also suitable for philosophy majors to take.
