In Buddhism
Buddhist philosophy
Source: Wisdom Experience: Mind (An excerpt from Science and Philosophy)Jñānamārga (ज्ञानमार्ग) refers to the “path of knowledge”.—By interpreting suffering as a problem of ignorance, Siddhārtha had embarked on a spiritual path that, in common with some other Indian traditions, came to be known as a “path of knowledge” (jñānamārga). For any path to knowledge, including all Indian Buddhist traditions, the fundamental goal of philosophy and contemplative practice is to uproot the confusion that underlies all suffering. Buddhist accounts often focus on exactly what constitutes ignorance—the foundational cognitive distortion that lies at the root of suffering—since identifying ignorance properly enables one to cultivate its antidote.
