Originating in India, Mahayana Buddhism spread across Asia,
becoming the prevalent form of Buddhism in Tibet and East Asia.
Over the last twenty-five years Western interest in Mahayana has
increased considerably, reflected both in the quantity of
scholarly material produced and in the attraction of Westerners
towards Tibetan Buddhism and Zen.
