The Yogācārabhūmi, a massive compilation of the early Yogācāra “school(s),” contains a comparatively short section dedicated to the critical examination of sixteen “allodoxies” (paravāda), mostly non-Buddhist doctrines, practices and institutions, some of which go back to the Brahmajāla- and Śrāmaṇyaphalasūtra of the Dīrghāgama. This section, which could be dated to the late 3rd century CE, is a remarkable milestone in the history of philosophy in the Buddhist environment, in that it summarizes and updates earlier, canonical arguments, adapting them to a new polemical context, and reveals Buddhist philosophy’s profound indebtedness to sūtra literature. The present paper analyzes allodoxy no. 8 (hiṃsādharmavāda), the brahmins’ claim that ritual violence is a religious duty and, as such, no violence at all. The Yogācārabhūmi’s arguments are among the most cogent and systematic Indian Buddhists ever directed against ritual violence.

反对 Allodoxies (paravāda) 的 Yogācārabhūmi：2 仪式暴力

Yogācārabhūmi 是早期瑜珈“学派”的大量汇编，其中包含一个相对较短的部分，专门用于批判性地检验十六种“异常论”（paravāda），主要是非佛教教义、实践和制度，其中一些回到Dīrghāgama的Brahmajāla-和Śrāmaṇyaphalasūtra。这部分可以追溯到公元 3 世纪后期，是佛教环境中哲学史上的一个显着里程碑，因为它总结和更新了较早的经典论点，使它们适应新的论战语境，并揭示了佛教哲学对经典文学的深厚功劳。本文分析了alodoxy no。8 (hiṃsādharmavāda)，婆罗门声称仪式暴力是一种宗教义务，因此根本没有暴力。
