Books in the Studies in the Buddhist Traditions series

The second in a series of collected essays looking at Indian Buddhism.

From the Preface ""Taken together, the studies contained in this volume represent the basis for a new historiography of Buddhism, not only for their critique of many of the idees recues of Buddhist Studies but for the compelling connections they draw between apparently disparate details."" - Donald S. Lopez, Jr.

Offers a study and translation of The Inquiry of Ugra (Ugraparipccha), one of the most influential Mahayana sutras on the bodhisattva path, but also one of the most neglected texts in Western treatments of Buddhism.
