Dhammapāla
Dhammapāla was the name of two or more great Theravada Buddhist commentators. The earlier, born in Kanchipuram, is known to us from both the Gandhavamsa and to have lived at Badara Tittha Vihara south of modern Chennai, and to have written the commentaries on seven of the shorter canonical books (consisting almost entirely of verses) and also the commentary on the Netti, perhaps the oldest Pali work outside the canon. Extracts from the latter work, and the whole of three out of the seven others, have been published in Pali by the Pali Text Society.
Histoire du bouddhisme
Le bouddhisme, qu'il s'agisse d'une religion, d'une philosophie ou d'une pratique souvent centrée sur la méditation, fut fondé par Siddhartha Gautama. Celui-ci naît environ en -556 du calendrier julien en Inde et sa doctrine se diffusera plus largement deux siècles plus tard. Le bouddhisme est une des plus anciennes religions encore largement pratiquées de nos jours.
Abhidhammattha-sangaha
The Abhidhammattha-saṅgaha (The Compendium of Things contained in the Abhidhamma) is a Pali Buddhist instructional manual or compendium of the Abhidhamma of the Theravāda tradition. It was written by the Sri Lankan monk Ācariya Anuruddha some time between the 8th century and the 12th century. According to Bhikkhu Bodhi, the Abhidhammattha-saṅgaha is one of the most important texts in the Theravāda Abhidhamma tradition and it provides such a "masterly summary" of the Abhidhamma that "has become the standard primer for Abhidhamma studies throughout the Theravāda Buddhist countries of South and Southeast Asia.
Shîlabhadra
Shilabhadra (IAST Śīlabhadra, v 528-651) est un théoricien et commentateur indien de l'école de conscience Vijnanavada (Vijñānavāda) ou Yogacara (Yogācāra) du bouddhisme mahāyāna, originaire de l'est de l'Inde, issu de la caste brahmanique. Féru de connaissances dans sa jeunesse, il voyagea partout pour trouver de grands maîtres, et arriva enfin à l'Université Nālandā du royaume Magadha où il entra dans l'ordre bouddhique auprès du patriarche Dharmapâla, grâce auquel il fit de grands progrès dans la doctrine bouddhiste.
