Taken together, these fascinating works give an account of Buddhist teachings directly from the earliest primary sources.
In his General Introduction, John J. Holder discusses the structure and language of the Pali Canon--its importance within the Buddhist tradition and the historical context in which it developed--and gives an overview of the basic doctrines of early Buddhism.
