Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisThis indispensable volume is a lucid and faithful account of the Buddha's teachings. "For years," says the Journal of the Buddhist Society , "the newcomer to Buddhism has lacked a simple and reliable introduction to the complexities of the subject. Dr. Rahula's What the Buddha Taught fills 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.' Authoritative and clear, logical and sober, this study is as comprehensive as it is masterly." This edition contains a selection of illustrative texts from the Suttas and the Dhammapada (specially translated by the author), sixteen illustrations, and a bibliography, glossary, and index., This comprehensive, compact, lucid, and faithful account of the Buddha's teachings persistently enjoys great popularity in colleges, universities, and theological schools both here and abroad.

Simplicity of presentation is excellent
To enter Annatta experience is the foundation of buddhism. In Anatta, our usual feeling ‘I am’ dissolves on its own leaving one abiding in what this book calls emptiness. In this experience of not finding ‘I am’, blissful freedom is experienced. In order to arrive at this experience, this book sheds light with the utmost simplicity.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
