Outlines of Mahayana Buddhism by D.T. Suzuki
At a time when Western religion appears to have reached an impasse, new insights are being sought from the East. Yet, by and large, Buddhism has remained beyond the comprehension of the Western reader. This book is the basic introduction to the main tradition of Buddhism. It defines Buddhist concepts clearly, compares and contrasts them with those of Judaism and Christianity.
With Outlines of Mahayana Buddhism in hand the struggling reader can turn confidently to the welter of contemporary materials on one of the world's great religions.
Mahayana Buddhism is at the very basis of both classical and contemporary Buddhism. Unlike Hinayana Buddhism, in which the accent is on individual salvation, Mahayana stresses social compassion. Intellectually, it is more understandable than its intuitive offshoot, Zen. Mahayana Buddhism represents one of the great systems of perceptions on the nature of man and his relation to the world. It is concerned with human suffering, and offers a remarkable set of insights on how one ought to live and by what principles.
