Description:Excerpt from Acvaghosha's Discourse on the Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana: Translated for the First Time From the Chinese Version Acvaghosha is the philosopher of Buddhism. His treatise on The Awakening of Faith is recognised by all Northern schools and sects as orthodox and used even to-day in Chinese translations as a text-book for the instruction of Buddhist priests. The original Sanskrit text has not been found as yet, and if it should not be discovered somewhere in India or in one of the numerous libraries of the Buddhist viharas, it would be a great loss; for then our knowledge of Acvaghosha's philosophy would remain limited to its Chinese translation.
