Revealing Forms of Speech as One of the Eight Types of Sound in Vaibhashika

A Buddha’s Omniscience of the Three Times
The Relation between Objects of the Three Times We have seen that there is no common-locus of a “result, which is not yet happening,” a “result, which is presently happening,” and “a result, which is no longer happening.” Moreover, although a continuum can be validly imputed...

The Relation between Objects of the Three Times
Review of Previous Sessions We have been discussing the whole issue of time from a Buddhist point of view and from a relativistic point of view in current Western science. And we’ve seen that, from a Buddhist point of view, time is referring to the interval that can be...
