Mādhyamika and Yogācāra: A Study of Mahāyāna Philosophies

Nagao invariably focuses on the core of Mahāyāna Buddhism-the path of the Bodhisattva, the doctrine of śūnyatā, and the system of Trisvabhāva are explained.

Important technical terms used in the Mahayana textual tradition, whose exact understanding is imperative for the study of Mahāyāna Buddhism, are skillfully presented, making the book indispensable to scholars of Buddhist studies.
