About this book
BUDDHISM in its course of development has completed a form which distinguishes itself from its so-called primitive or original type-so greatly, indeed, that we are justified in emphasizing its historical division into two schools, Hinayana and Mahayana, or the Lesser Vehicle and the Greater Vehicle of salvation.
