Book Summary
The Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana is a classic of East Asian Buddhism. Its concept of faith, is not the same as that of Western religions. The book's title may also be translated as The Generating of Confidence in the Mahayana. Confidence and trust is generated as a result of examining the Mahayana Buddhist teachings, which are concisely summarized here. This book is said to have been written for those who find the wordiness of extensive discourse wearisome, and who prefer a brief tretise with a lot of meaning. Doctrinally, it presents the tathagata-garbha or Buddha-matrix teachings in their most developed form.
