About The Book
First published in 1914, this is a fascinating investigation of the origins of Buddhism, drawing on a wealth of evidence relating to the life and teachings of the Buddha. Saint-Hilaire begins by considering how the study of Buddhist doctrine can critique religious systems like Christianity, before proceeding to explore Buddhism at three key periods:
-
The life and legend of the Buddha as demonstrated within canonical works
-
Buddhism in India during the seventh century
-
Buddhism in Sri Lanka (formally ‘Ceylon’) at the start of the twentieth century
Primarily a philosophical study of the origins and principles of Buddhism, this reissue remains a valuable resource for students researching contemporary perceptions of the Buddhist faith.
