The present study utilizes conceptions drawn from the sociology of religion to analyze an array of factors leading to the composition of certain treatises of the Mahayana literary corpus. It maintains that issues of certitudo salutis---certainty regarding positive post-mortem fate---were instrumental in determining the nature of the nascent literary movement. To do so, it makes a series of six interlocking arguments. First, it describes how the Buddhist collectives of the first century were able to "institutionalize" into permanent communities. Second, it reveals the different ways in which the "institutionalized" Samgha would "rationalize" its systems for determining administrative and religious authority. Third, it maintains that certain 'elite' sectors of the community felt that the money-transforming purity of the monks had been compromised in the process of "rationalizating" the Samgha's administrative structure. Fourth, this study shows how these self-styled elites experienced a high degree of "anomy," or the sense that their world order was in the process of collapsing into a chaotic period, due to a "recession of the ideal." Fifth, this study reveals how these self-styled elites attempted to redress the problem of "anomy" by developing a literary means whereby salvific certainty might be secured without the mediation of compromised institutions; the means they adopted consisted in the composition of literary works called Mahayana Sutra-s. Sixth, these texts contain self-referential narrative devices that purport to provide manifest evidence that those interacting with it were necessarily participating not in the present compromised world order, but in a larger and more encompassing world order. In the sociology of religion, we may say that texts of this type would ideally function to "de-alienate" their adherents.
