Sakya or Buddhist Origins by Mrs. Rhys Davids is as relevant today
as it was in 1928, the year of its first publication. Time has
added to its value. The remarkable progress in the realm of Science
has not abated man's yearning for the call of the quest. As the
title implies, its aim is to unravel the genuine message of Gotama,
the Buddha, from the accretions in the Pali scriptures, by adopting
the techniques of archaeologist. It is divided into two parts. Part
one treats of the discovery , the reconstruction, the
rehabilitation of that which, at its birth, was a new and true word
from very man to very man, true always and everywhere. Part two
tells how this gospel came to be dressed to suit a monastic set of
ideals. An appendix dealing with Pali Pitakas is added. Over the
years, in spite of a large number of books, the horizons of
knowledge about Buddhism have remained stationary. This book takes
a further step in widening that knowledge and thus provides an
impetus for further research.
