More About This Book

Overview

First published in 1967, Yoshito S. Hakeda's translation and critical interpretation of The Awakening of Faith has become a classic. Hakeda's work, now available in a new edition, presents a beautiful and accessible translation of one of the most influential works in Mahayana Buddhism. Philosophical and religious in its approach, The Awakening of Faith provides a comprehensive summary of the essentials of Mahayana Buddhism. It explores the path leading to enlightenment and teaches the principles and methods of meditation. However, the text does not advocate a passive retreat into the quietude of meditation; instead it calls for a dynamic social engagement based on compassion and wisdom.

The Awakening of Faith, commonly attributed to Asvaghosha, has been the subject of voluminous commentaries for more than a thousand years. Hakeda's own interpretive comments illuminate and explain the work and its more esoteric elements. Ryuichi Abe's new foreword examines the importance of The Awakening of Faith within Buddhism and the influence of Hakeda's translation. For this reissue Abe changed the Wade-Giles transcriptions to Pinyin transcriptions.
