Description

Explore the foundational roots of Mahayana Buddhism with this classic text from Routledge Library Editions. Written by William Montgomery McGovern, this work stands as one of the first books on Mahayana Buddhism specifically written for a Western audience. It provides a historical perspective that predates well-known English language overviews by scholars such as D. T. Suzuki and A. Watts. McGovern brings unique authority to this subject. Having trained at the Nishi Hongwanji Mahayana Buddhist monastery in Kyoto, Japan, between 1914 and 1917, the author offers insights shaped by direct monastic study. His early dedication to the subject is evident through his founding of the Mahayana Association and his work editing the journal "Mahayanist" during his studies. This book focuses on the Chinese and Japanese phases of the tradition, making it a valuable resource for students of religion, philosophy, and Buddhist history. Whether you are researching the origins of these traditions or looking for an early academic overview, this text provides a significant look at the development of Mahayana thought.
