Soonil Hwang studies the doctrinal development of nirvana in the
Pali Nikaaya and subsequent tradition and compares it with the
Chinese aagama and its traditional interpretation. He clarifies
early doctrinal developments of Nirvana and traces the word and
related terms back to their original metaphorical contexts,
elucidating diverse interpretations and doctrinal and philosophical
developments in the abhidharma exegeses and treatises of Southern
and Northern Buddhist schools. The book finally examines which
school, if any, kept the original meaning and reference of Nirvana.
