Descrizione

About The Book: This book has been prepared with the aim of bringing together within a small compass, the leading ideas of Buddhism, and interpreting them in the light of modern knowledge. The book is the product of extensive study of the teachings and spiritual values of his religion. Because, for the Master the voice of authority is in truth itself, and wherever the truth leads, thither the disciple must follow. The forces that underlie and maintain civilized society are not the belief in Atman and Bahman, or trinity in unity, or the immanence and transcendence off God, but truthfulness, charity, justice, tolerance, fraternity—in short, all that is summed up in the word of Dharma or Buddhism. It might be pretentious for the author to hope that this book will prove serviceable in hastening this consummation so devoutly wished. So, this book is worth readable for them who are practicing and seeking truth for the benevolent of the society.
