The Sutra That Expounds the Descent of Maitreya Buddha etc. (Taisho 454) follows the tradition of portraying Maitreya as the future Buddha who will arise to restore the Dharma after the original teachings have fallen into decline. The Sutra of Mañjuśrī's Questions (Taisho 468) reflects the vibrant state of Indian Buddhism during what was perhaps its most creative period and imparts a lasting impression of the concerns of the Indian Mahayana community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shotaro Iida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1886439605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781886439603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e BDK America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Shotaro Iida","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49097086632191,"sku":"9781886439603","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sutra-that-expounds-the-shotaro-iida-9781886439603","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
