Index. "The two concepts most profound, sublime and influential of all Mahayana (The Developed Buddhist Tradition) texts are the concepts of Bodhisattva and Sunyata.

In fact, both concepts had their seeds first in the Pali Nikayas (The Early Buddhist Tradition). In other words, while reading this book, the reader can discover the doctrines of Mahayana along with those of Pali Nikaya which are essentially the same in origin, nature and purpose.
