撥無

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: to negate

Senses:

  • Especially negation as a prevailing attitude that leads to nihilism—the dismissal of causal relationships. Thus the term is commonly seen used in expressions such as 撥無因果 and 因果撥無 (Skt. apavāda, apavādika, apavadita, nâsti, apavādaṃ karoti, apavādin, apodita, apohya, asat; Tib. skur pa btab par 'gyur ba, med do snyam du 'dzin pa, med pa). 〔瑜伽論 T 1579.30.585b29〕 [Charles Muller; source(s): Ui, YBh-Ind, Nakamura, Hirakawa]
