It outlines the initial steps a Mahāyāna Buddhist needs to take to reach enlightenment, beginning with the conviction that\u003cbr\u003ethe Mahāyāna path is correct and worth pursuing. The \u003cem\u003eTreatise\u003c\/em\u003e addresses many of the doctrines central to various Buddhist teachings in China between the fifth and seventh centuries, attempting to reconcile seemingly contradictory ideas in Buddhist texts introduced from India. It provided a model for\u003cbr\u003elater schools to harmonize teachings and sustain the idea that, despite different approaches, there was only one doctrine, or Dharma. It profoundly shaped the doctrines and practices of the major schools of Chinese Buddhism: Chan, Tiantai, Huayan, and to a lesser extent Pure Land.\u003cbr\u003eIt quickly became a shared resource for East Asian philosophers and students of Buddhist thought. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on the historical and intellectual contexts of \u003cem\u003eTreatise\u003c\/em\u003e's composition and paying sustained attention to its interpretation in early commentaries, this new annotated translation of the classic, makes its ideas available to English readers like never before. The introduction orients readers to\u003cbr\u003ethe main topics taken up in the \u003cem\u003eTreatise\u003c\/em\u003e and gives a comprehensive historical and intellectual grounding to the text.
