Aspects of Mahayana Buddhism and its Relation to Hinayana c8.s1.13

c8.s1.13

For our present purpose of comparison between the Hīnayānic and Mahāyānic stages, we shall follow the account of the *Daśabhūmikasūtra*, indicating at places its agreements and disagreements with the *Bodhisattvabhūmi* and the *Madhyamakāvatāra*, and referring in the footnotes to the accounts of the *Mahāvastu* and the *Prajñāpāramitās*; while for the Hīnayānic stages, we shall depend mainly on the Pāli works, supplementing them where necessary by the information supplied by the *Kośa*.
