Sinopsis

Setting Out on the Great Wayábrings together different perspectives on the origins and early history of MahÄüyÄüna Buddhism and delves into selected aspects of its formative period. As the variety of the religion which conquered East Asia and also provided the matrix for the later development of Buddhist Tantra or VajrayÄüna, MahÄüyÄüna is regarded as one of the most significant forms of Buddhism, and its beginnings have long been the focus of intense scholarly attention and debate.The essays in this volume address the latest findings in the field, including contributions by younger researchers vigorously critiquing the reappraisal of the MahÄüyÄüna carried out by scholars in the last decades of the 20th century and the different understanding of the movement which they produced. As the study of Buddhism as a whole reorients itself to embrace new methods and paradigms, while at the same time coming to terms with exciting new manuscript discoveries, our picture of the MahÄüyÄüna continues to change. This volume presents the latest developments in this ongoing re-evaluation of one of Buddhism&rsquo,s most important historical expressions.
