The Buddhist Mahayana Texts

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Buddhist Mahayan Texts (1894) translated by E.B. Cowell and J. Takakusu, is Volume XLIX of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book focuses on Buddhism and explores the Buddhist ideal of becoming fully awakened. This text is a valuable addition to the personal library of scholars and of those interested in Buddhism.
