Description

About the book:-a volume of translations from the Pali Suttas to the important series of which this work forms a part, the contributor has to face the difficulty of choosing from the stores of a nearly unknown literature a difficulty arising from the embarrassment, not of poverty, but of wealth. Author has endeavoured to make such a choice as would enable him to bring together into one volume a collection of texts which should be as complete a sample as one volume could afford of what the Buddhist scriptures, on the whole, contain. With this object in view he have refrained from confining myself to the most interesting books — those, namely, which deal with the Noble Eightfold Path, the most essential, the most original, and the most attractive part of Gotama's teaching ; and he have chosen accordingly, besides the Sutta of the Foundation of the Kingdom of Righteousness (the Dhammacakkappavattana-Sutta), which treats of the Noble Path, six others which treat of other sides of the Buddhist system ; less interesting perhaps in their subject matter, but of no less historical valuem.
