    The Buddha Counsels a Theist.Glenn Wallis - 2008 - Religion 38 (2008):54-67.
    The dominant culture in India in the Buddha’s day, Brahmanical culture, took as axiomatic the existence of a supernatural creator deity. This deity, termed ‘Brahma’, was conceived as being ‘the all-seeing, the all-powerful, the Lord, the maker and creator, ruler, appointer and orderer, father of all that have been and will be’. Although the Buddha completely rejected such apparent metaphysical speculation as a ‘thicket of views’, he nowhere formulated a systematic repudiation of theism. In one canonical text, however, the Buddha, (...)

My contention is that Advayavajra, in prescribing the ådikarma in the rhetorical manner (...)

    The Buddha’s Remains: mantra in the Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa.Glenn Wallis - 2001 - Journal of the International Association of Buddhist Studies 24 (1):2-37.
    An abiding concern of Mahāyāna Buddhists has been the accessibility of a buddha’s power in the world.1 Some Buddhists, notably philosophers and their commentators, have grappled with the very coherence of such a possibility. Viewing the question from a logical perspective, it has been necessary for such systematic thinkers to reconcile the apparent inconsistency ensuing from the two essential qualities deemed definitive of a buddha. A buddha is one who, by virtue of his awareness of the nature of reality, is (...)
