چکیده
### Chinese (Sino-Japanese) Buddhism in general, and Chan (Zen) in particular, are very different kettles of fish from Indo-Tibetan Buddhism. The Daoist influence gives it a whole new flavour. Chan certainly inherits a story about emptiness from Indian Buddhism, though. And though it may put a whole new spin on it, we take it that it preserves the structural features about emptiness which generate dialetheias — though substantiating this thought in detail is far too big an undertaking for this occasion. In his paper in this issue, Tanaka takes issue with our view that Dōgen's Buddhism is dialetheic. In a paper rich in textual exegesis and in philosophical insight, he comments on four prima facie dialethic passages in Dōgen. The first two we ourselves cited in connection with the * We thank Kyoto University for support for the symposium on Contradictions in Buddhism (2012) and the members of that symposium, especially Mark Siderits, Brook Zipporyn, Koji Tanaka and Takashi Yagisawa and Shoryu Katsura for critical response. We also thank Constance Kassor and an audience at the American Academy of Religion meeting in San Francisco for critical response to our work and Tom Tillemans for his sustained critical engagement with our view.

متن کاملReply to "Commentary: Assessment of past infiltration fluxes through Yucca Mountain on the basis of the secondary mineral record-is it a viable methodology?", by Y.V. Dublyansky and S.Z. Smirnov
Xu et al. (2003) presented results of a reaction-transport model for calcite deposition in the unsaturated zone at Yucca Mountain, and compared the model results to measured abundances in core from a surface-based borehole. Marshall et al. (2003) used the calcite distribution in the Topopah Spring Tuff to estimate past seepage into lithophysal cavities as an analog for seepage into the potentia...

Imagine v valleys and all cities placed in this valleys. Cost of traveling from town to town in valley is very small (negligible), let us say equal to 1. When salesmen wants to go to other valley he has to pass mountain chain – this is of a huge cost, let us say equal to 1000. Salesman lives in one of towns in valley A. Optimal solution must then contain 4 mountain chains crossing (from A to B,...

1. The Problem of the Many Think of Mont Blanc, with its rabbits and foothills and its slurries of moistened rock. We can carve up the reality around Mont Blanc in different ways. If we are hunters, we might include rabbits as parts of the mountain; if we are geologists we might include only rock, perhaps together with a certain amount of air in the crevices and tunnels which have been formed b...
