What the Buddha Taught Book

Beneath the enormous umbrella of Buddhism, there is a diverse galaxy of customs and beliefs, but there is also a kernel of truth that every sect holds dear. Rahula Walpola, scholar and monk, discovers this foundation of Buddhism for us first through straightforward explication, never skipping over a point that has yet to be substantiated, then through translations from key scriptures. Logical and focused, these are the essentials of Buddhism; know them first, then move comfortably on to other Buddhist works.Read More

  • Product Description

    This indispensable volume is a lucid and faithful account of the Buddhaâ??s teachings. “For years,â? says theJournal of the Buddhist Society, “the newcomer to Buddhism has lacked a simple and reliable introduction to the complexities of the subject. Dr. Rahulaâ??sWhat the Buddha Taughtfills the need as only could be done by one having a firm grasp of the vast material to be sifted. It is a model of what a book should be that is addressed first of all to `the educated and intelligent reader.â?? Authoritative and clear, logical and sober, this study is as comprehensive as it is masterly.â?

    This edition contains a selection of illustrative texts from theSuttasand theDhammapada(specially translated by the author), sixteen illustrations, and a bibliography, glossary, and index.
