|ArticleSummary=The present paper tries to trace the particular contours that the problem of theodicy assumes in the Chinese Buddhist text the ''Awakening of Faith in the Great Vehicle'' (''Ta-sheng ch'i-hsin lun''). It analyses the beginning section of the main body of text—the section, that is, that outlines the major theoretical structure of the work—in terms of a problem that has been of particular concern in western theology. I believe that taking such a tack is especially valuable for highlighting the central ''Problematik'' around which the text is organized. The paper will thus use the problem of theodicy as a means of exploring some of the philosophical implications of the ''Awakening of Faith''. (Gregory 1986, 63)
