The Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana Doctrine: The New Buddhism is a book written by Ashvagosha, a patriarch, in 1907. This book is a comprehensive guide to the Mahayana doctrine, which is a school of Buddhism that originated in India and spread throughout East Asia. The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of the Mahayana doctrine. The first part of the book provides an overview of the Mahayana doctrine, including its history, key concepts, and teachings. This section also includes an introduction to the concept of the Buddha-nature, which is a central tenet of Mahayana Buddhism. The second part of the book focuses on the practice of the Mahayana doctrine. This section provides detailed instructions on how to meditate and cultivate the Buddha-nature within oneself. It also includes practical advice on how to live a virtuous life and develop compassion for all beings. The third and final part of the book explores the nature of reality according to the Mahayana doctrine. This section delves into the concept of emptiness, which is a fundamental aspect of Mahayana philosophy. It also discusses the nature of enlightenment and the role of the bodhisattva, a being who seeks to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings. Overall, The Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana Doctrine: The New Buddhism is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about the Mahayana doctrine. It provides a clear and concise overview of this complex and profound philosophy, and offers practical guidance for those seeking to deepen their understanding and practice of Mahayana Buddhism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
