| Résumé: | The Buddha insisted that what he taught was a path by which all living beings could escape from suffering, and that only what contributed to that goal was worth doing, saying or thinking. But he also saw a close link between virtue and intellectual understanding, and encouraged his followers to think for themselves.

D.: Nagarjuna and Dharmakirti. |
