Buddhist origins and discussion of the Buddha's teachings are
amongst the most controversial and contested areas in the field.
This bold and authoritative book tackles head-on some of the key
questions regarding early Buddhism and its primary canon of
precepts. Noting that the earliest texts in Pali, Sanskrit and
Chinese belong to different Buddhist schools, Roderick S. Bucknell
addresses the development of these writings during the period of
oral transmission between the Buddha's death and their initial
redaction in the first century BCE. A meticulous comparative
analysis reveals the likely original path of meditative practice
applied and taught by Gautama. Fresh perspectives now emerge on
both the Buddha himself and his Enlightenment. Drawing on his own
years of meditative experience as a Buddhist monk, the author
offers here remarkable new interpretations of advanced practices of
meditation, as well as of Buddhism itself. It is a landmark work in
Buddhist Studies.
