| | Tashi Deleg! The Padma Samye Ling Bulletin: Enlightened Masters: Acharya Dignaga |
 | | Dignaga was spiritually regenerated and took up his work with a zeal that never waned for the rest of his life. | | | Dignaga's Pramanasamuccaya (“Compendium of the Means of True Knowledge”) is one of the greatest works on Buddhist logic. | | | Though Dignaga learned the whole of the Tripitaka, the Three Baskets of non-Mahayana Buddhist wisdom, he was not satisfied with Vatsiputriyan attempts to deny the never-ending nature of self while affirming its continuity through a series of lives. |

| | Dignaga and Quine are undogmatic empiricists with respect to their conviction that there is only one kind of truth, contingent truth, and one basic means to truth (perception and inference being its two facets). | | | Dignaga must then accept the fact that the beliefs in a WWM of a name are just as subject to refutation as any other belief, and the WWM for a name is subject to revision. | | | The mechanism that Dignaga had in mind, I contend, is basically a set of shared or sharable general beliefs derived from the perception of the initial referent(s) of the name, on the occasion of the adoption of the name. |

| | Formalisation of ancient logics: Dignaga |
| | The Indian Buddhist philosopher and logician Dignaga (A.D. 480-540), a disciple of Vasubandhu, laid the foundations for the Buddhist teachings on cognition theory and logic. | | | Dignaga's Pramanasamuccaya (Compendium of the Means of True Knowledge) is one of the greatest works on Buddhist logic. | | | Indian logic can be traced back to some centuries B.C. It seems to have developed independently from Greek logic, even if there are similarities and parallels. |

| | In the Nalanda tradition the great Buddhist masters of logic were Dignaga and Dharmakirti, the two pillars of Buddhist logic and epistemological tradition. | | | Because in Buddhist traditions, especially in the Nalanda tradition, there is an emphasis on the optimal use of human intelligence, the use of logic and reason become important. | | | According to many of my Indian friends, both the Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike recognize Dignaga and Dharmakirti’s contribution to the fields of logic and epistemology in India. |

| | The philosopher Dignaga was for his part commenting upon the concepts of perception and logic presented in the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha, who lived 500 BC. | | | Looking backwards from our present time, it is typical for a modern Tibetan commentator of the Gelukpa tradition to base his work on one of the monastic textbooks, typically written in the 17th or 18th centuries for the curriculum of a specific monastic college. | | | And so the lineage goes from the Buddha, to Master Dignaga, to Master Dharmakirti, and then on to the early Indian explanations of Master Dharmakirti, including his own autocommentary. |

| | Subtradition of Dignaga – Dharmakirti originated from Vasubandhu's subtradition (as it is well known, Dignaga was a disciple of Vasubandhu, and Dharmakirti – that of Dharmapala's) and its proper name is Sautrantika - Yogacara. | | | It must be noted practically complete absence of the influence of later Indian logical and epistemological trend of Yogacara (Dignaga, Dharmakirti, Prajnakaragupta, Ratnakirti) on the Chinese Buddhist philosophy (but this influence was considerably strong in Tibet). | | | Therefore even sporadically translated into Chinese Indian logical works were practically unused untill XX century when outstanding Confucian thinker Xiong Shili (who had also some definite Buddhist sympathies) became interested in their contents. |

| | Building on the work of Dignaga scholars such as Hattori, Hayes and Katsura, Dreyfus presents the many subtle refinements proposed by later scholars in the Tibetan tradition elucidating both the negative and intuitional aspects of the theory. | | | A revised presentation of what was originally written as his doctoral dissertation, Dreyfus lays out the fundamental issues central to the Buddhist theory of knowledge. | | | This statement concerning the two possible objects of a valid cognition (pramana; tshad ma) is the launching point for Georges Dreyfus' Recognizing Reality, an exploration of fifteen hundred years of Buddhist epistemology beginning in India with the writings of Dignaga and Dharmakirti, and continuing on in Tibetan intellectual circles up until the present day. |

| | This may be due to the fact that the teachings and the disputations of the logical schools were limited to the monks or brahmins who practiced them. | | | Tscherbatsky (1962: 31-34) tells us that in the times of Dignaga and Dharmakirti, two of the greatest Buddhist logicians, the fate of entire monasteries depended on public debates. | | | In India, the logical schools, Nyaya, Mimamsa, together with the Buddhist logic and dialectic schools of Dignaga, Dharmakirti and Nagarjuna never gained the ascendancy when compared to the other traditions such as the Vedanta. |

| | And when we consider advaita, we should remember that advaita is as much concerned with the dialectical (logical argument) aspect as it is with the exegetical (interpretatiion of texts) aspect. | | | Stephen Phillips says in his book "Classical Indian Metaphysics", the Buddhist logicians, particularly nAgArjuna, dignAga, and dharmakIrti, were responsible for the sharp increase in sophistication of dialectical techniques in subsequent Indian philosophy. | | | Phillips states regarding dignAga: "...his scheme of syllogism was studied closely by all succeeding philosophers, whatever the school." So the formalization of dialectical techniques of the Buddhists influenced a number of different schools, not just advaita. |
