What the Buddha Taught

“A terrific introduction to the Buddha’s teachings. ” —Paul Blairon, California Literary Review

This 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.

“[Rahula’s] succinct, clear overview of Buddhist concepts has never been surpassed. It is the standard. ” —Library Journal
