ABSTRACT

The Sakya started with a far wider, far longer conception of life than the narrower vision of the Greek. It would be truer to say that Sakyan, like other Indian teaching, in so Varas it recognized what one call will in man at all, took it up into mind or cognition, than that it anywhere thought of mind as distinctly volitional. The Indian, the Hindu liked from of old to ponder over and talk about the powers, the needs, the limitations of man. Kama the very nature of man according to one Upanishad, was utterly deprecated; asa, longing, no less so; and the fine kratu was never used. In ways of mind especially, the man is infinitely capable of being worked, of being made to become better or worse. There was always dominating Indian thought the old-world conception of man the spectator, man the recipient.
