Buddhist Samdhinirmocana and Hermeneutics of H. G. Gadamer: Comparative Analysis

Summary/Abstract: Gadamer’s hermeneutics and Buddhist samdhinirmocana are two different traditions of interpretation that have common parallels between them. Samdhinirmocana is closely related to the Buddhist religious context and developed as guidelines to interpret the words of Buddha (Buddhavācana). The similarities between Gadamer’s hermeneutics and Buddhist samdhinirmocana can be indicated at various levels. In the paper Sache selbst of Gadamer and paramārtha of samdhinirmocana are highlighted as examples of providing ways for any interpretation of an object. In both theories the interpretation process is grounded in a particular situation. The hermeneutics of Gadamer and Buddhist samdhinirmocana do not seek objective understanding, but the one, which preserves the intention of the other, while exploring it in different profiles.
