soul - 2024 ACF Winter - Buzzpoints App

Question

Scholar Caroline Rhys Davids claims that a “characteristic of existence” about this concept was not originally taught by the Buddha. For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this concept whose absence titles the Buddha’s second discourse. The Buddha argues that perception does not disprove the nonexistence of this concept, which Advaitas unify with Brahman.

ANSWER: soul [or ātman or attā; accept self; accept Anattalakkhaṇa Sutta or Anātmalakṣaṇa Sūtra]

[10h] This theologian defended anattā using a catuṣkoṭi (“cha-TUSH-ko-TEE”) logical argument to espouse the “doctrine of emptiness.” This author of “Fundamental Verses of the Middle Way” argued further that there is “emptiness in emptiness.”

ANSWER: Nāgārjuna

[10e] Thai Dhammakāya Buddhists in this school point to the lack of arguments in the Ānanda Sutta as evidence that the Buddha did not regard anattā as universal. This Buddhist school, unlike Mahāyāna, reveres the Pali Canon.

ANSWER: Theravāda [accept Theravādin or Theravādī]
