Description

This book, 'Buddhism – In Translations' aims at presenting different ideas and conceptions which are found in Pali writings. The selections of the first chapter are on the Lord Buddha; next follow those which deal chiefly with the Doctrine, under the chapters of Sentient Existence, Karma and Rebirth and Meditation and Nirvana; while others concerning the Order and secular life constitute the closing chapter of the book. The uniqueness of the book lies in the selective presentation of the materials and their organization. Introductory notes preceding discussion of each chapter, amply annotated, add to its originality. Appendixes and the Index form special features.
