Hi White Wolf,

I'm not aware of any Mahayana equivalent -- the Mahayana sutras are generally much longer than the Pali suttas (the Flower Garland Sutra is over 1,600 pages!), and not very conducive to anthologizing. Not only that, but Mahayana is something of an umbrella term covering a host of different traditions, each with its own canon -- core sutras that are important to that school, commentaries and teachings by the school's important teachers, etc.

So, for example, a good Zen anthology (such as this one) could be considered analogous to "In the Buddha's Words". I'm sure there are similar works for the Tibetan traditions, Pure Land and so on. But Mahayana as a whole? It's just too big and disparate.

Hope this helps!
