Language of title: English
Author/Creator: D. Seyfort Ruegg
One Sentence Summary: This article presents some of the problems and possible future directions in studies of the Samyé (bsam yas) Debate.

Description: This article presents some of the problems involved in trying to piece together the actual events and setting of the debate that is reported to have taken place between disciples of the Indian Buddhist Kamalaśīla and the Chinese monk Hwashang, or Ho-shang Mo-ho-yen, in Tibet in the eighth century. The article critiques conclusions of previous studies, and offers some tentative alternatives. It also emphasizes what the ‘Great Debate’ meant for subsequent Tibetan civilization and how it framed the understanding of important philosophical differentiations. (Ben Deitle 2006-03-02)
