Introductory Books for Buddhist and Asian Philosophical Terminology preparatory to the Dzogchen semde section.


Sharma, Chandradhar.   Indian Philosophy: A Critical Survey.   Motilal Banarsidass; 13th edition (September 1, 2016);   Ryder, 1960.
Chandradhar Sharma's work is one of the most thorough introductions in the English language, and has the advantage of being more approachable than the works of other pundits attempting the same project.   Its main value to students of dzogchen is to provide a matrix of Sanskrit terminology which was later translated into Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese and other East Asian languages.   I hope someone finds this useful in comparing the English translation of Sanskrit and Tibetan terms as they relate to lived experience and insight.

Tagawa, Shun'ei.   Living Yogacara: An Introduction to Consciousness-Only Buddhism.   Boston: Wisdom, 2009.
The Yogacara school of Maitreya sangha was founded by Asanga and Vasubandhu (4th-5th century CE), and synthesized the thinking of several hundred years prior on the nature of the mind.   It arose in the time that the Mahasiddha tradition was active in northern India and entering the Trans-Himalayan region before becoming integrated into Buddhist philosophy as it arrived in Tibet 300-700 years later.   A major proponent of Yogacara was Xuanzang (Hsüan-tsang 602-664), who ignored the emperor of China's edict in 629 and travelled to India to collect as many Buddhist manuscripts as possible;   his major goal being to clarify Yogacara as it had arrived earlier in China in fragmentary form.
