About this book
Outlines of Mahayana Buddhism is by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki and dates from 1908. The preface gives the object of the book as twofold: to refute the many wrong opinions entertained by Western critics concerning the fundamental teachings of Mahâyâna Buddhism, and to awake interest among scholars of comparative religion. The preface calls the book at once popular and scholarly.
A section headed “Mahâyânism a Living Faith” says that whatever changes it has made during its historical evolution, its spirit and central ideas are all those of its founder. The same section calls Mahâyânism an ever-growing faith, ready in all times to cast off its old garments as soon as they are worn out. Another section says the Dharmakâya is revealed in the finite and fragmental consciousness of human being, so that in a sense “this body of mine is the Dharmakâya,” though not absolutely.
