Join Dr.Ā Ralph H. Craig III for an in-depth exploration of Mahāyāna Buddhism through its formative texts, doctrines, and practices. The Mahāyāna (or ā€œGreat Vehicleā€) was a significant movement within Indian Buddhism that began in approximately the first century BCE, persisted throughout Buddhism’s demise in India in approximately the twelfth century CE, and exerted an enormous influence upon the further development of Buddhism as it spread throughout South/Southeast, Central, and East Asia (China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam), and across the globe in the modern and contemporary periods.
