DESCRIPTION
It is a comprehensive and authentic account of the Buddhist Acaryas of Kashmir, the role they played in popularising the faith in Kashmir and abroad and the contributions they made to Buddhist literature. Besides presenting an authentic account of the distinguished Buddhist scholars of Kashmir, an attempt has been made to discuss in detail their contributions to the development of Buddhist literature. Since Kashmir was mainly instrumental in popularising Buddhist faith in Central Asia, China and Tibet, a detailed account of the missionary activities of Kashmirian Buddhist scholars in these regions has been presented. Also, a critical analysis of Vasubandhu's Vijnapti-matratasiddhi, which is the basic philosophical work of the Vijnanavada system, has been included.
