Dasheng qixin lun (*Mahāyāna-śraddhotpādaśāstra; C. 大乘起信論), aka Treatise on the Awakening of Faith According to the Mahāyāna, is one of the most influential texts within East Asian Buddhism.[1]
Though attributed to the Indian scholar Aśvaghoṣa, it is now widely regarded by scholars as a Chinese composition.[1][2]
The earliest translation is attributed to Paramārtha; thought some scholars suspect that Paramārtha might have been the actual author of the text.[1]
