Description
Book Synopsis
Some 2000 years ago Buddhism experienced a major reformation through a movement called the Mahayana, or "Great Vehicle," which dominated religious through in much of Asia for many centuries and still exerts considerable influence. The basic Mahayana texts, sermons ascribed to the Buddha and called "sutras" in Sanskrit, discussed the "perfect wisdom." The "Large Sutra on Perfect Wisdom" took shape between 50 and 2000 A.D. in southern India during one of the most momentous outbursts of religious creativity in human history.From the Back Cover

It warrants careful study by anyone wishing to 'get into' the thought-world and the experiential frame of reference of Mahayana Buddhism."--Religious Studies Review "This work, the product of so many years of devotion. . . will be a welcome addition to the library of those interested in Buddhist and comparative philosophy and religion."--Journal of Indian PhilosophyAbout the Author
