The Outlines of Mahayana Buddhism by Dr. Suzuki is one of the best introductory textbooks for the Mahayana School of Buddhism. Being an introductory text, author tries to be as complete as possible in the limited space. The book is written in a clear, transparent and easy to read style and attempts to present the most intricate and complex philosophical teachings of the Mahayana in a way that the average reader can understand. Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki was a well known Buddhist scholar, known for his important publications on Zen Buddhism. He was a professor at Otani University, Japan. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1963.
