A New Approach to Budhist Epistemology

Abstract: Buddhism stands unrepeated in history of the human thought not only “in denying the existence of such a soul, self, or atman” (1) but also in developing a concept of epistemology fundamentally based on meditation. The meditation-induced epistemology doctrine is exceptionally outstanding for its omnipresent approval and archival endurance. It was an accustomed faith of effectively all the primordial circles of Indian Buddhism, and has kept it up without advance into the present day. The current literature, however, seems not to address crucial aspects of Buddhist epistemology as a doctrine of knowledge tinged with mysticism. Many documents appear to disregard one of the rudimentary hallmarks that have always been equated with almost complications of Buddhist philosophy: meditation (jhāna/dhyāna). This article is supposed to give some accounts of such gaps, the issues of meditation as the source and culmination of mystical Buddhist epistemology.
