Críticas

At last a critical English translation of one of the most influential documents of Mahayana Buddhism faithful to the earliest extant Chinese text. "At last a critical English translation of one of the most influential documents of Mahayana Buddhism faithful to the earliest extant Chinese text." -- "Choice" "It is basic to all schools, particularly to Zen...All serious students of Mahayana should obtain a copy and use it for study of the subject so that they gain an insight into the source of so much later development." -- "Western Buddhist"

Reseña del editor

This text is a short treatise, but its importance is out of all proportion to its length, since it provides a comprehensive summary of the essentials of Mahayana Buddhism. It discusses the question of how man can transcend his finite state and participate in the life of the infinite while still remaining in the midst of the phenomenal order and concludes with a discussion of the particular practices and techniques that will aid the believer in the awakening and growth of his faith.
