The Buddhism Omnibus: Comprising Gautama Buddha, the Dhammapada, and the Philosophy of Religion

by Iqbal Singh, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Arvind Sharma

The three works brought together in this collection explore Buddhism as a rich source of literary legend, an austere ethical guide, and a contemporary philosophy very relevant in the modern world in view of the resurgence of interest in the Buddha and his philosophy. Matthew T. Kapstein in his Introduction provides a concise historical overview of Buddhism in India and the renewal of interest in the Buddha s teachings and also situates the works in their prope contexts.
