Teachings of the Compassionate Buddha - Early Discourses, the Dhammapada, Ad Later Basic Writings (Paperback)

Who was Siddartha Gautama? What is Buddhism? Today, countless books offer a new take on the Eastern religion that has spread far beyond the borders of India, where it was born 2,500 years ago. But this book offers something more -- the original writings and fundamental teachings that form the basis of this great, and growing, tradition.

With clear, helpful commentary by scholar E. A. Burtt, this book will familiarize you with:
-- THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS
-- THE EIGHTFOLD PATH
-- THE ZENAKA STORY OF BUDDHA'S BIRTH AND EARLY LIFE
-- A ZEN "KOAN"
-- THE WHITE LOTUS ODE

AND MORE

Filled with essential documents and touching upon such topics as compassion, mental health, monastic life, and the nature of nirvana, this book will introduce you to -- or deepen your understanding of -- one of the world's great religions, devoted to the realization of universal love.
