Introduction:
The Mahayana Buddhism: Language, Literature and the Ramification is one of our recent prestigious publications containing eleven scholastic articles that were presented at the National Seminar, held in February, 2010, organised by the Asiatic Society, Kolkata. The papers have been divided into two categories - some on textual studies of the Mahayana ideals and the rest includes variegated schools of Mahayana Buddhism, Mahayana arts and archaeological remains, impact of the Mahayana Buddhism on modern society and such other topics. The present collection may be considered as a sequel to the work entitled Introducing Mahayana Buddhism published by the Asiatic Society a few years back. The present collection of papers has been edited with a highly informative Introduction by our esteemed friend, a renowned Pali scholar Dr. Sadhan Chandra Sarkar, who was the former Head, Department of Pali, Sanskrit College, Kolkata. The present literary production, though small in size, will certainly be a very useful text for students interested in Buddhistic studies as well as of Indology.Available pages:
