This Is A New Release Of The Original 1915 Edition.
Translated From The Original Pali Into English. Harvard Oriental
Series, Volume Three.
1915. This work is volume three of the Harvard Oriental Series. The
materials for this book are drawn ultimately from the Pali writings
of Ceylon and Burma, that is to say they are to be found in palm
leaf manuscripts of those countries, written in the Singhalese or
Burmese alphabet, as the case may be, but always in the same Pali
language, a tongue very akin to the Sanskrit. These Pali writings
furnish the most authoritative account of the Buddha and his
doctrine that we have. Contents: Buddha; Sentient Existence; Karma
and Rebirth; Meditation and Nirvana; The Order; The Five Groups.
This book, from the series Primary Sources: Historical Books of the
World (Asia and Far East Collection), represents an important
historical artifact on Asian history and culture. Its contents come
from the legions of academic literature and research on the subject
produced over the last several hundred years. Covered within is a
discussion drawn from many areas of study and research on the
subject. From analyses of the varied geography that encompasses the
Asian continent to significant time periods spanning centuries, the
book was made in an effort to preserve the work of previous
generations.

Said the elder, "Your majesty, why are not all trees alike, but
some sour, some salt, some bitter, some pungent, some astringent,
some sweet?" "I suppose, bhante, because of a difference in the
seed." - from "The Cause of Inequality in the World" Though
published more than a century ago, in 1896, this beautiful
translation of the fundamental teachings of the Buddha is still a
worthy introduction-few of the numerous subsequent translations are
as lucid, as well balanced, or as well organized as this one.
Highly readable, this is no dry scholarly text, taken from the
original palm-leaf manuscripts in the Pali language-akin to
Sanskrit-and featuring simple yet radiant chapters on sentient
existence, karma and rebirth, meditation and nirvana, and all the
Buddha's wise and compassionate enlightenment. Namaste. HENRY CLARK
WARREN (1854) was an American scholar of Buddhism.
