Deconstructing Constructions: The Role of Sa\u1e45kh\u0101r\u0101 in the Buddha\u2019s Discourses by Bhikkhu Bodhi
\n.

\n\n

In this paper I intend to explore the P\u0101li term sa\u1e45kh\u0101r\u0101, one of the pivotal concepts in the Buddha\u2019s discourses. The P\u0101li word has such a rich gamut of meanings that merely to draw them out into the open sheds a flood of light on the Buddha\u2019s understanding of reality. The word occurs in a variety of contexts that are subtly and intricately interwoven. To explore their contextual meanings and track down their interconnections will reveal the rigor of the Buddha\u2019s philosophical vision and the coherence of his teaching in expressing that vision in language and concepts.
