Beskrivning
This is a selection from among the most significant texts in the body of Buddhist literature, culled especially for readers who want a rich, varied, and comprehensive collection in one volume, and includes translations from Pali, Sanskrit, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese, and Lao. For the benefit of the newcomer to Buddhism--and to facilitate the use of this volume in an academic context--the pieces are arranged in chronological order and each chapter is preceded by a separate commentary. In addition, there is a comprehensive description of life in India at the time of the Buddha and an outline of his life and mission.

Recensioner i media

“Lucien Stryk does here for Buddhism as a whole what he did earlier with Zen. . . . The best available translations have been used. All in all, this is a very good substitute for libraries that cannot afford translations of all the basic Buddhist scriptural works.”—Library Journal“More inclusive than either Warren’s Buddhism in Translations or Humphrey’s A Buddhist Student’s Manual, it is a fine reference book for both the beginning and advanced student.”—Choice
