Mayavadaとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Mayavada (Sanskrit maya, illusion, and vada, doctrine) is a term used to pejoratively refer to the Advaita philosophy of Adi Shankara. It is not used by the followers of the Advaita philosophy to refer to themselves. It is generally used as a derogatory term, by some Dvaita schools. Mayavada pertains to a doctrine where the personal forms of God are considered to be influenced by Maya (illusion) (and thus such philosophy is similar to atheism, so Mayavada also leads to spiritual suicide, because there is no service to Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna, Vishnu) and only the one-ness of the Impersonal Brahman is considered to be the Absolute Truth.
