β¦ Synopsis
This indispensable volume is a lucid and faithful account of the Buddhaβs teachings. ΒFor years,β says the Journal of the Buddhist Society, Βthe newcomer to Buddhism has lacked a simple and reliable introduction to the complexities of the subject. Dr. Rahulaβs 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 Βthe educated and intelligent reader.β Authoritative and clear, logical and sober, this study is as comprehensive as it is masterly.βThis 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.
