Description

Genealogies of Mahayana Buddhism: Emptiness, Power and the question of Origin provides a fresh perspective on one of the most difficult questions in Buddhist studies. For years, scholars have struggled to identify the exact origins of the Mahayana movement. This work by Walser addresses this challenge by looking at the factors often overlooked in historical research. Instead of focusing solely on doctrinal shifts, this book examines how political and social power influence religious history. By addressing the neglect of these social structures in previous scholarly work, the text offers a new way to understand how Buddhist movements develop and sustain themselves. It is a significant contribution for those studying the history of religion and the mechanics of power within religious institutions. Whether you are researching Buddhist philosophy or the broader sociological aspects of religion, this Routledge publication offers a necessary shift in perspective. It challenges existing assumptions and provides a framework for understanding the complex relationship between social power and religious evolution.
