Item description from seller

XXI, 272 Seiten / p. sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - This third volume in the Essentials of Buddhism Series explains the origins, development, and dissemination of the Buddhist scriptures. It also offers an overview of the texts most key to the vast canon. In so doing it reveals the nature of sutras. -- The teachings spoken directly by Shakyamuni Buddha to his disciples in India 2,500 years ago were first transmitted orally, then eventually recorded in written form and disseminated throughout all of Asia. Through this process, various philosophies began to be incorporated within these teachings and translations were made for the respective languages of the regions in which they entered. What the Buddhist scriptures offer to us is not simply the framework of one religion, but a body of writings that give shape to a broader world of spirituality. As the interest in Buddhism increased, many sutras have been translated into English and many interpretations published. Still, gaining a deeper understanding of the individual sutras, while at the same time grasping the immense overall picture conveyed by these writings, is not easy, even for specialists. This volume is an English introduction to the Buddhist scriptures designed to respond to the needs of all people interested in Buddhist thought and teachings.
