His strategies or interventions are skilful means - morally wholesome tricks devised for the purpose of enabling nirvana or enlightenment. Michael Pyes clear and engaging introductory guide investigates the meaning and context of skilful means in Mayahana Buddhist teachings, whilst tracing its early origins in ancient Japanese and Theravada thought.
