Summary/Abstract: This essay presents an auteur commentary on selected texts by Ireneusz Kania, contained in the Dług Metafizyczny volume or conversations conducted with him. M. Kudelska limits her remarks primarily to Buddhist motifs. Ireneusz Kania openly declares that Buddhist themes remained extremely close to him and explicitly states that Buddhism offers greatest knowledge about human nature and reality. He even admits that lately he begins his day by studying Buddhist texts, and adds in the Buddhist manner that his dharma is “gaping at the world”, which within the context of all his publications becomes his individual path of cognition.
