Topic: Atthakavagga


  
  Desire, Death and Goodness: The Conflict of Ultimate Values in Theravada Buddhism. (book reviews)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Text critical studies have made clear that the verses of the Suttanipata, especially the Atthakavagga and the Parayanavagga, are to be counted among the earlier strata, which present a picture of a Buddhism fairly different from what is taken by many scholars to be representative of earlier, or "primitive" Buddhism.
In this respect, Burford argues that the value system propounded by the Atthakavagga is more consistent and more coherent than is the later tradition with its inclusion of metaphysical concepts and a transcendent vision in its understanding of the ultimate goal.
These she considers "to be a detrimental 'addition' to the teaching of the Atthakavagga," finding its understanding of the ideal "much less problematic than that imposed on it by the commentators" (p.

 SOUNDS OF SILENCE
Although the Atthakavagga emphasizes that «seeing» leads to or even constitutes the goal, it warns against formulating that vision into a view because attachment to views is based on desire.
The Atthakavagga approaches views in a purely negative manner, only explaining what one should not do, and the ideal is expressed mostly by such terms as 'purity' (suddhi) and 'calmness' (santi) which both receive their meaning from what is not the case (Burford 1992: 40, 42).
The Atthakavagga is not as explicit as Zen in its use of paradox and emphasis on silence, but implicitly the roots of such an approach are present in it.

 CHRONOLOGY OF THE PALI CANON   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The present Atthakavagga composed of sixteen poems may be safely placed anterior to both the Mahaniddesa and Suttanipata.
Without disputing that there are numerous instances of archaism in the individual suttas or stanzas composing this anthology, we have sufficient reasons to doubt that the anthology as a whole was at all anterior to the Niddesa which heads the list of the Pali Canonical texts representing the eighth order.
If this canonical commentary came into existence when the Atthakavagga was yet currrnt as an isolated group, the date of its composition cannot but be anterior to that of the Suttanipate.

 Atthaka   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
It may also have been the name of divisions of other books, because we are told that once Sona Thera intoned before the Buddha all the verses of the Books of the Eights (Atthaka-vaggikāni).
Nandamātā Upāsikā was once reciting the Atthakavagga and the Parāyanavagga on the roof of her house, and Vessavana, while on the way with his followers to see the Buddha, listened to her recital (SnA.i.370; but see A.iv.63, where only the Parāyana is mentioned).
According to this tradition, the Atthakavagga was already being recited in the Buddha's own time.

A means of knowledge in Pāli is called a pamāṇa, and in epistemological contexts an object of knowledge (I think this word is used to avoid any ontological commitment or implications) is, probably, pameyya.
In Indian philosophy before (but not so much), contemporary with, and probably even more following the Buddha, epistemology was probably the area of philosophy given the most attention by the ancient Indians, this is very evident in many ancient texts, for example, the Atthakavagga of the Sutta-nipāta.
Also, in Greek records, the Indian philosophers (the Greeks and Indians lived together for some hundreds of years in India, and philosophical discussions among them are recorded, for example, in the Milindapañha.
