*********************
The
Sarvāstivāda is one of the most important Buddhist Schools during the period of
Abhidharma development. An understanding of its doctrinal development is
indispensable for gaining a proper perspective of the development in Buddhist
thoughts in India as a whole. Its doctrine of sarvāstitva — the tri-temporal
existence of dharma-s — had had tremendous impact on the doctrines of not only
the so called Abhidharma schools, but also those of the Mahāyāna; either directly
or indirectly, positively or negatively. Accordingly, even those aspiring to
acquire insight into the sources of Mahāyāna thoughts ought to be sufficiently
acquainted with the fundamental doctrines of the school.
This
publication is one of the first in English – if not actually the first – that
deals comprehensively with all the major Sarvāstivāda doctrines within a single
volume. The first edition was published in 2002 by the Centre of Buddhist
Studies, Sri Lanka. The present third edition is a substantial revision of the
second edition published in 2004. Besides a comprehensive index, a glossary of
Sanskrit terminologies has also been added in this edition for the convenience
of those unfamiliar with the Sanskrit language. Venerable KL Dhammajoti, PhD.,
is presently Endowed Professor of Buddhist Studies at the Centre of Buddhist
Studies, the University of Hong Kong. Prior to joining the University of Hong
Kong, he was Professor and Head of Department of Buddhist Literary Sources of
the Postgraduate Institute of Pali and Buddhist Studies, University of
Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. For the past many years, he has been specializing in
Abhidharma studies and early Indian Yogācāra.
