Reviews

"The work is in fact an admirable introduction to the Mahayana traditions, both for the undergraduate student and others who wish to explore the Great Vehicle.' Such a useful, up-to-date overview fills a real need. Moreover, its thorough references can be used as a basis for further study and research."

"This will without doubt become a standard textbook on the Mahayana. Argument and assertions are throughout backed up by reference to primary sources and there are citations or quotations from texts on almost every page."
