M¿dhyamika and Yog¿c¿ra - A Study of Mah¿y¿na Philosophies

Nagao invariably focuses on the core of Mah¿y¿na Buddhism--the path of the Bodhisattva, the doctrine of ¿¿nyat¿, and the system of Trisvabh¿va are explained.

Important technical terms used in the Mahayana textual tradition, whose exact understanding is imperative for the study of Mah¿y¿na Buddhism, are skillfully presented, making the book indispensable to scholars of Buddhist studies.
