As much as it contributes to a theory of origins for religious studies and Buddhist Studies, the book argues that that it is the neglect of political power in the scholarly imagination of Buddhism in history that has made the origins of Mahāyāna an intractable problem. Walser challenges commonly-held assumptions, offering a fascinating new take on the genealogy of Mahāyāna that traces its doctrines of emptiness and mind-only from the present day back to the time before Mahāyāna was \"Mahāyāna.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Walser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138955558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138955554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Joseph Walser","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47423919948031,"sku":"9781138955554","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_42cb9898-9f91-4cf5-be52-bc8dfb954149.jpg?v=1761528999","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/genealogies-of-mahyna-buddhism-joseph-walser-9781138955554","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
