The Upadeśasāhasrī, or A Thousand Teachings consists of a metrical part and a prose part. In the metrical part, Sankara discusses the basic philosophical problems of non-dualism, at the same time refuting the teachings of other philosophical schools. In the prose part, he explains how to teach the way to self realization—to enlightenment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eŚaṅkara and the great Abhinavagupta are generally regarded as the two greatest thinkers in the long history of Indian philosophy. Sankara represented Advaita Vedanta, a non-dualistic view of ultimate reality. Most of his works are commentaries on classics of Indian thought. A Thousand Teachings is the only non-commentarial work that can be attributed to him; the other independent writings ascribed to him are probably spurious.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48674278113515,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":67.66,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780791409442-1.jpg?v=1785758194","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780791409442","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
