In this volume are collected two works that complement each other
very well, each being in its own way at the heart of
Sangharakshita's writings. A Survey of Buddhism was first published
in 1957, and Lama Anagarika Govinda wrote of that first edition,
'It would be difficult to find a single book in which the history
and development of Buddhist thought has been described as vividly
and clearly as in this survey. For all those who wish to know the
heart, the essence of Buddhism as an integrated whole, there can be
no better guide than this book.' The Survey, whose ninth edition is
reproduced here, continues to provide an indispensable study of the
entire field of Buddhist thought and practice, covering all major
doctrines and traditions, and placing their development in
historical and cultural context.The Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path
of course outlines the best-known formulation of the Buddha's
teaching, and if its name sounds archaic, Sangharakshita's vivid
explanation of how to follow that path provides a fresh and
inspiring guide. Here, to the original text are added seminar
extracts that give a range of helpful perspectives on the stages of
the path. This volume includes a full section of endnotes locating
the teachings to the suttas and sutras that inspired them, as well
as a Foreword by Dharmachari Subhuti looking at these two texts
from an inspirational and a critical perspective, and bringing out
the inner connection between them.
