Description

Buddhism is often preconceived and stereotyped as a religion of mystical silence, but Richard K. Payne argues that language is in fact central to the Buddhist tradition. By examining the use of Japanese Buddhist Tantra and extraordinary language, invocations calling on the power of the Buddha, he shows that such language was not simply cultural baggage carried by Buddhist practitioners from South to East Asia. Rather, such language was a key element in the propagation of new forms of belief and practice. Whereas Western approaches to the philosophy of language are grounded in language as a form of communication, Payne argues that it is the Indian and East Asian philosophies of language that shed light on the use of language in meditative and ritual practices in Japan and explain why it was conceived as an effective means of progress on the path from delusion to awakening'. Language in the Buddhist Tantra of Japan: The Indic roots is the first book to challenge the standard western approaches used to understand language in religion, and indicates directions for rethinking those fields. It is key reading for scholars in religious studies, Buddhism, and linguistics.
