Inciteful demonstration of Canon integrity
Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2012 6:58 pm
This article makes a great introductory survay of the issues of veracity as history in the Buddhist Canon.
This is done as this essay is a point by point refutation of another paper that claimed that the Buddhist Canon can not speak for Buddhist history prior to the commentaries composed in the 3rd and 4th centuries CE.
