- Abstract
The article explores the different concept of contradictions to the theoretical Buddhist philosophy. According to the author, contradictions are meant to be taken literally and accepted as true, however, some of them may not to be absurd. It is expressed that the contradictions imply that certain areas of Buddhism are committed to dialetheism, while some of the context are irrational. Furthermore, the author concludes that Buddhism can be irrational even if inconsistent which reflects the logical contradictions in the world.
