Buddhist Mahayana Texts: The Sacred Books of the East V49 is a book that contains a collection of Buddhist texts belonging to the Mahayana tradition. The Mahayana tradition is one of the two major branches of Buddhism, and it is known for its emphasis on compassion and the belief in the existence of multiple Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The book is edited and translated by F. Max Muller, a renowned scholar of comparative religion and one of the founders of the discipline of Indology. The texts in this book are drawn from various sources, including the Chinese Canon, the Tibetan Canon, and the Sanskrit manuscripts. The texts cover a wide range of topics, including philosophy, ethics, and practices such as meditation and visualization. Some of the most famous texts included in this volume are the Lotus Sutra, the Heart Sutra, and the Diamond Sutra. This book is an important resource for anyone interested in Buddhist philosophy and the Mahayana tradition in particular. It provides a comprehensive overview of the key texts and ideas that have shaped this tradition, and it is a valuable addition to the Sacred Books of the East series.1897. The Sacred Books of the East series, comprising fifty volumes, has translations of key sacred texts of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. The series was edited by the famous linguist Max Muller, who also produced many of the translations and were the foundational documents for the new discipline known as the comparative science of religions.

Part II contains: The Larger Sukavati-Vyuha; The Smaller Sukavati-Vyuha; The Bagrakkhedika; The Larger Pragna-Paramita-Hridaya-Sutra; The Smaller Pragna-Paramita-Hridaya-Sutra; and The Amitayur-Dhyana-Sutra.
