One Mind As Transcendent Reality - Understanding The Awakening Of Faith In Mahayana Against Wilfred Cantwell Smith"s View of Buddhism -

&nbsp;&nbsp;This dissertation purports to attempt a reinterpretation of The Awakening of Faith attributed to A？vaghosha, which is appreciated among many modern Buddhist scholars as the Mahayana scripture comparable to the Synoptic Gospels, against Wilfred Cantwell Smith&quot;s View of Christianity and Buddhism.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;We are to understand The Awakening of Faith as a scripture where the One Mind as Mahayana awakens faith in human beings. In this scripture, Dharma as Mahayana appears as One Mind in the form of Tath？gata Garbha within the sentient beings. One Mind is the ultimate reality which induces the sentient beings to the insight of transcendence beyond the secular world and to the practical response toward the transcendent reality. In such a sense, One Mind is rightfully comparable to the Christian concept of God as the ultimate and transcendent reality.
