Excerpts from reviews:

“The Maharatnakuta is one of the five major sutra groups in the Mahayana Canon and contains 49 sutras, many of which have never before been translated into a Western language. Thanks, however, to the labours of the well-known Buddhist scholar, Dr. Chang, and to his colleagues of the Buddhist Association of the United States, an expanded version of 22 of the sutras most likely to be of value to the general reader, and arranged so as to provide a progressive introduction to Mahayana Buddhism, has now appeared in this substantial and splendidly produced volume. Design, layout, binding, paper and typography are uniformly excellent….”
—Anthony Sarcop, Midway

“Selected and arranged so the volume becomes a kind of first hand encyclopedia of Mahayana Buddhism. The work has been carefully translated and it is presented here in such a way that it can be read not only by specialists but by anyone with an interest in Buddhism and in comparative religion. Endnotes for each selection clarify obscure words, phrases, and statements. A word glossary and a numerical glossary are given at the end. Since Mahayana classics are not well represented in English translation this is a valuable work and will be needed for the study of Buddhism and of religion in general.”
