Excerpt from Açvaghosha's Discourse on the Awakening of Faith in the Mahâyâna: Translated for the First Time From the Chinese Version
Acvaghosha is the philosopher of Buddhism. His treatise on The Awakening of Faith is recognised by all Northern schools and sects as orthodox and used even to-day in Chinese translations as a text-book for the instruction of Buddhist priests.
The original Sanskrit text has not been found as yet, and if it should not be discovered somewhere in India or in one of the numerous libraries of the Buddhist vihâras, it would be a great loss; for then our knowledge of Açvaghosha's philosophy would remain limited to its Chinese translation.
Açvaghosha's treatise on The Awakening of Faith is a small booklet, a monograph of the usual size of Chinese fascicles, comprising in its Chinese dress no more than about 10,800 characters, and may be read through in a few hours.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an insightful exploration of the life and teachings of Acvaghosha, a prominent Buddhist philosopher who lived in India between the first century BCE and the first century CE. The author delves into the complex and often contradictory accounts of Acvaghosha's life, piecing together a fascinating portrait of a man who was both a renowned Brahman scholar and a dedicated Buddhist. The book examines Acvaghosha's conversion to Buddhism, his influential role in shaping the Mahayana school of thought, and his impact on the spiritual landscape of India during a period of great intellectual and religious ferment. The book's discussion of the Mahayana tradition sheds light on the intricate philosophical and theological ideas that define this distinct branch of Buddhism, highlighting its unique emphasis on compassion, universal salvation, and the interconnectedness of all beings. This book offers a valuable window into the life and thought of a pivotal figure in the history of Buddhism, revealing the richness and complexity of this ancient and enduring spiritual tradition.
