Synopsis

(from back cover)

Published in association with the distinguished Buddhist Society, London, this book provids a lucid study of the primary tenets of Buddhism. It is directed specifically to those seeking to learn the foundation of Buddhist ideas in a straightforward manner, without becoming involved in conflicting sectarian interpretations. The author draws his material directly from the Buddha's own teachings, known as sutras, as well as from major texts and commentaries recorded in the first centuries after Buddha's death. Accepted by all Buddhist sects, these have been translated from the original Pali and Sanskrit languages, and form the basis of what the author describes as "Mainstram" Buddhism.
