Written as a companion to Eliot's 3-volume "Hinduism and Buddhism,"
this title begins with a brief survey of Buddhism as practiced in
India and China before delving deep into the history of Buddhism in
Japan. It traces the evolution of the Buddhist movement in Japan
from its "official" introduction in AD 552, through the Nara, Heian
and Tokugawa periods, detailing the rise of the various Buddhist
sects in Japan, including Nichiren and Zen. Thoroughly researched
and well-written, it was the last work published by Eliot, one of
the great scholars of Eastern religion and philosophy at the time.
First Published in 2004. The papers presented in this book were
written at various periods, but have a certain unity as being the
result of an attempt to understand what is the real condition of
Turkey and how that condition has arisen. The author recognises
that an adequate knowledge of any one of the many themes here
touched upon can only be obtained by lifelong research; but feels
that for the purposes of practical politics it is well to see only
one side of a question and act accordingly. This book sets itself
apart from non-political writers who often impair the value of
their work because they devote themselves to a special subject and
unconsciously become partisans.

John Ruskin first met Charles Eliot Norton in 1855. Norton was the
American counterpart of a man of letters. With a common distaste
for the industrial and scientific directions of modern
civilisation, the two men became intimate correspondents and the
letters they exchanged until shortly before Ruskin's death in 1900
reflect and express, often more vividly than his own public prose,
the spiritual, amatory, artistic, and cultural preoccupations of
Ruskin's life. The revelations were so candid that Norton, as one
of Ruskin's literary executors, burned many of the letters, altered
a number of others in his Letters of John Ruskin to Charles Eliot
Norton of 1904, and sought to efface his side of the correspondence
almost entirely. In this 1987 volume, Dr Ousby and Dr Bradley
present a far more complete and accurate record of the exchanges,
which comprise 333 from Ruskin to Norton and 63 in return.
This is an expertly abridged edition of Sir Charles Eliot's
remarkable three-volume work "Hinduism and Buddhism: An Historical
Sketch". This is a perfect introduction to the teachings of the
Buddha. It provides an opportunity to explore the wisdom of the
ages. Siddhartha Gautama, known throughout history as 'The Buddha',
once said, 'If you want to really see me, then look at my
teachings'. "Revered Wisdom: Buddhism" is the perfect introduction
to those teachings. It's an expertly abridged edition of Sir
Charles Eliot's remarkable three-volume work "Hinduism and
Buddhism: An Historical Sketch". Transcending every social class,
culture and sometimes even religion, The Buddha teaches that
eternal happiness can be obtained by anyone at any time. In this
book, Sir Eliot begins with the life of Buddha, then explains the
important teachings within the Buddhist cannon and ends with
meditation techniques for embarking on a path to spiritual
discovery and reaching nirvana. Through this insightful series you
will explore the wisdom of the ages.
