Description
Summary: The author begins with a discussion of the terms which refer to distinctions within the development of Buddhism based on geographical distribution as well as on philosophically diverging aspects. He characterizes Mahayana and Hinayana according to vyakta- and guhya-yana, sahaja- and kathina-yana; discusses the relation between the doctrines of the Mahasanghikas and those of the Mahayana-sutras, and finishes with the applications of the terms Maha- and Hina-yana among the various representatives of the Mahayana Schools up to roughly the tenth century A.D.
