Synopsis

Translated from the Chinese by John Keenan. This "compendium of the Mahayana" is so called because it presents an attempt to systematize Buddhist thought into a unified whole from the standpoint of the Mind-Only School (Vijnanavada). [Taisho Tripitaka #1593] [Ch: She-ta-ch'eng-lun] [Jpn: Sho-dai-jo-ron]

About this title

About the Author:

The BDK English Tripitaka Series was started by the late Dr. Rev. Yehan Numata, founder of the Bukkyo Dendo Kyokai (BDK) [Society for the Promotion of Buddhism]. The goal of this series is to make available in the English language the Buddhist scriptures and commentaries of the Sino-Japanese edition of the "Taisho Tripitaka." Scholars and specialists from throughout the world have been enlisted to translate the selected texts into English. When completed, the one-hundred eight volumes will comprise the First Series of the BDK English Tripitaka.
