The first part consists of Introduction by H S Prasad.  He argues for sempiternal, dynamic and substantive reality underlying all appearances.  He shows that as one rises to a higher level of consciousness, the various Yanas, like sravankarayan, pratyekabuddhayana, bodhisattvayana and mahayana, all merge into ekayana; for each contributes to the gradual realization of the oneness of ultimate reality, thus paving the way for the emergence of universal culture.  On Prasad's view the much talked-about negativism of the Madhyamika - sarvadrstisunyata - is not an end itself, rather it is a basis for the realization of the essential unity of all beings, sentient as well as insentient, leading to the cultivation and promotion of universal good, compassion and friendliness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the second part is reprinted the Sanskrit text of Maitreya's Uttarantantra ( Ratnagotravibhaga).  The third part includes corrections and emendations suggested by Jikido Takasaki in the Sanskrit text in the light of Tibetan and Chinese versions. The fourth part is an English translation of the text from its Tibetan version by E Obermiller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is a radical departure from the traditional interpretations of Buddhism and the Madhyamika philosophy in particular.  It aims at reviving philosophy as a cultural activity, a path to enlightenment and spiritual discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART I\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction by H S Prasad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART II\u003cbr\u003eSanskrit Text\u003cbr\u003eThe Ratnagotravibhaga Mahayanottarantantrasastra\u003cbr\u003eEdited by E H Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART III\u003cbr\u003eCorrections and Emendations to the \u003cbr\u003eSanskrit Text of the Ratnagotrravibhaga\u003cbr\u003eby J Takasaki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART IV\u003cbr\u003eEnglish Translation\u003cbr\u003eThe Sublime Science of the Great Vehicle to Salvation\u003cbr\u003eBeing a Manual of Buddhist Monism\u003cbr\u003eThe Work of Arya Maitreya with a Commentary by Aryasanga\u003cbr\u003eBy E Obermiller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Terms\u003cbr\u003eWorks, Authors, and Schools.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"E H Johnston \/ Sri Satguru Publications \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153638453616,"sku":"16280","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/16280.jpg?v=1793911872","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/the-uttaratantra-of-maitreya-sanskrit-text-english","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
