Book Description

June 1, 1993 BDK English Tripitaka
Translated from the Chinese by John Keenan. This "compendium of the Mahayana" is so called because it presents an attempt to systematize Buddhist thought into a unified whole from the standpoint of the Mind-Only School (Vijnanavada). [Taisho Tripitaka #1593] [Ch: She-ta-ch'eng-lun] [Jpn: Sho-dai-jo-ron]

About the Author

The BDK English Tripitaka Series was started by the late Dr. Rev. Yehan Numata, founder of the Bukkyo Dendo Kyokai (BDK) [Society for the Promotion of Buddhism]. The goal of this series is to make available in the English language the Buddhist scriptures and commentaries of the Sino-Japanese edition of the "Taisho Tripitaka." Scholars and specialists from throughout the world have been enlisted to translate the selected texts into English. When completed, the one-hundred eight volumes will comprise the First Series of the BDK English Tripitaka.
