THE ATLAS OF THE EMPTY THRONE

Buddhaghosa

Buddhaghosa
nature
The great Theravāda commentator, working in Sri Lanka, whose Visuddhimagga ("Path of Purification") organised the whole of the Pāli teaching into a single graded manual of ethics, concentration and insight. For fifteen centuries it has been how Theravāda reads itself.

The Theravāda synthesis. If Nāgārjuna is the tradition's solvent, Buddhaghosa is its architecture.
