Features: In Buddhist scriptures, the Great Vehicle Awakening of Faith is a treatise closely related to the development of Chinese Buddhism and also one of the most controversial works in modern and contemporary Buddhist studies. Chinese and Japanese Buddhist scholars have expressed numerous opinions on its authenticity and its role and significance in Buddhist history. To this day, there is still no complete consensus on these issues. Therefore, further research on the Awakening of Faith is still necessary. In addition to the collaborative translation, I have briefly elaborated on the fundamental ideas of this treatise, the strategies concerning its authenticity, and its role and significance in Buddhist history, among other aspects.
