Buddhist philosophical traditions examine suffering, persons and the possibility of liberation.
A bounded introduction#
The Buddha’s teachings became a basis for later arguments in metaphysics and epistemology. Different historical schools developed their own positions; a short introduction cannot stand in for all Buddhist thought.
A way to read critically#
Identify the school and text behind a claim. Distinguish a religious teaching about liberation from a clinical claim about treating a condition. This page makes no promise of a medical or psychological outcome.
