Originating in India, Mahayana Buddhism spread across Asia,
becoming the prevalent form of Buddhism in Tibet and East Asia.
Over the last twenty-five years Western interest in Mahayana has
increased considerably, reflected both in the quantity of scholarly
material produced and in the attraction of Westerners towards
Tibetan Buddhism and Zen.
Paul Williams Mahayana Buddhism is widely regarded as the
standard introduction to the field, used internationally for
teaching and research and has been translated into several European
and Asian languages. This new edition has been fully revised
throughout in the light of the wealth of new studies and focuses on
the religion 's diversity and richness. It includes much more
material on China and Japan, with appropriate reference to Nepal,
and for students who wish to carry their study further there is a
much-expanded bibliography and extensive footnotes and
cross-referencing. Everyone studying this important tradition will
find Williams book the ideal companion to their studies.
