"Outlines of Mahayana Buddhism" by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki is a scholarly exposition on the principles and doctrines of Mahayana Buddhism, written in the early 20th century. The work aims to clarify the misconceptions held by Western critics regarding Mahayana teachings while simultaneously fostering academic interest in this significant religious tradition. The text serves as an introduction to the complexities and historical development of Mahayana Buddhism, meticulously detailing its distinctions from Hīnayāna Buddhism. At the start of the work, Suzuki outlines the dual objectives of his study: to counter prevalent misunderstandings about Mahayana Buddhism among Western audiences and to introduce the intricacies of its teachings to a broader scholarly community. He discusses the historical formation of the Mahayana school, highlighting its inclusive and evolving nature compared to its Hīnayāna counterpart. The opening chapters set the stage for a deeper exploration of key concepts, such as non-âtman, the significance of Dharma, and the role of Bodhisattvas, indicating the systematic and comprehensive approach he will take throughout the text.
