Subject: Buddhism
Language: English
Translatedby: Engene Watson Burlingame
Abstract: This book contains upwards of two hundred similes, allegories, parables, fables and other illustrative stories and anecdotes, found in the Pali, Buddhist texts, and said to have been employed, either by the Buddha himself or by his followers, for the purpose of conveying religious and ethical lesions and the lesions of common sense.

It contains much that will interest children, it also contains much that will puzzle the profoundest philosopher.

Title: Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism
Author: R. Kimura

Cover: Paperback
Subject: Buddhism
Language: English
Abstract: Although at the time of the earthy Buddha?s first sermons and teachings he stressed the need for a coherent progression of his message, the religion did in fact split as it traveled across vast parts of Asia. The two major strands of Buddhism became the Hinayana, the form of Buddhism that stresses the scriptures of the Buddha and the Mahayana that seeks to use teaches, lamas and Buddhist philosophers to interpret the word. Today we find the Hinayana groups in south India, Sri Lanka and across South East Asia. Whereas the Mahayana groups are found mainly to the north in Nepal, Tibet, Ladakh, China, Korea and Japan as well as in parts of Central Asia. In Indonesia there is some intermixing of the branches. In this study the development of these two branches of Buddhism are discussed. How have the two branches diversified and what are the common themes?

Abstract: This study canvasses the idea of writing a general history of Buddhist philosophy. The Buddha was not only the founder of a great world religion but was a gifted critical and speculative philosopher. The value of Buddhism as a religion and the historical development of Buddhism as a popular religion should not preclude the serious study of Buddhism as philosophy and Buddhisms unique approach to metaphysics, logic, causality and the classic philosophical problems.

Editedby: H.P.Spierenburg
Abstract: Here for the first time is a compilation in one volume of Blavatskys perspective, both controversial and of stimulating value, for all interested in the Buddhist and theosophic world view. D.T. Suzuki spoke of Helana Blavatsky as one who had truly attained, and praised her Voice of silence as being true Mahayana Buddhism. The Lama Kazi Dawa Samdup, who translated the Tibetan Book of Dead with Dr. W.Y.EvansWentz, said Blavatskys writings showed intimate acquaintance with the higher lamaistic teachings… She and Col. Olcott, then President of the Theosophical Society, formally took Buddhist vows in Sri Lanka in 1880 much to the shock of Christian missionaries and colonial powers. This bold action by her and Olcotts extensive networking initiated a cultural revival there revitalizing Buddhist values, thought and practice. During the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Blavatsky influenced prominent Buddhist of all kinds From late nineteenth century prominent Buddhist who were her close associates, to the sixth Panchen Lama who in 1925 wrote an introductory preface to the Peking edition of her Voice of the Silence, and more recently Christmas Humphreys, Bhikshu Sangharakshita, Alex Wayman, EvansWentz, Edward Conze, etc. Throughout the century, Blavatskys Theosophic exposition of Buddhist thought has gained influence and respect.

Devoid of superfluous issues, it gives the original Pali scriptures in parallel.Buddhism is more a philosophical path a way of thinking to unlock a route or direction, to rise above the transitory nature of physical life. In its purest form, it offers a way forward for the conscious mind. For a Buddhist, a lifetime of self-analysis, meditation and right thought may be needed to discern the truths of life.A classic reprint of the Buddhas first sermon delivered at Sarnath, India.

Abstract: This work is a critical edition with notes and indices of a glossary of Sanskrit Buddhist technical terms, ascribed to Nagarjuna (2nd Century AD). Students of Buddhism, who find that the kind of Sanskrit used in sacred works is of a very peculiar kind, sorely need a glossary of such terms. The arrangement of quotations is as follows the Sanskrit words are followed by the Pali words. Then follow the Buddhist Sanskrit works and their Tibetan translations the Pali sources and the European authors who have discussed the subjects. The main editor, Kenjiu Kasawara, was a Buddhist priest from Japan who studied Sanskrit at Oxford University from 1879-82. He prepared this work based on manuscripts of the DharmaSamgraha held by the India office, London and by Cambridge University.

Abstract: People of the twentieth century seek a religion that relies not on dogma or blind faith but that appeals to reason. The author argues that Buddhism is that religion, but that it must be the teaching as originally promulgated by the Buddha himself and not the distorted variations invented by later monks and scholars. The author sets out to discover the original genuine teaching of the Buddha. Such teaching fortunately is able to be distinguished by an infallible criterion furnished by the Buddha himself.

Title: The Secret Oral Teaching in Tibetan Buddhist Sects
Author: Alexandra David Neel and Lama Yongden
Edition Year: 2007
Cover: Paperback
Subject: Buddhism
Language: English
Abstract: Most humans regard themselves as extremely important and much of man philosophy is based upon the assumption of his centrality in the universe. However the essence of The Secret Oral Teachings depends upon the opposite viewpoint, that man is Void and the ego is an Illusion. This fascinating book shows us how to start accepting this humbling truth, and presents the allied wisdom gathered by intrepid traveler and committed Buddhist Alexandra David Neel, who was one of the first westerners to visit the forbidden city of Lhasa. For anyone interested in esoteric philosophy, this book by the author who inspired Kerouac and Ginsberg in the 1960s, is a treasury of little known information about a potential role as a guide to the more serene life.

Title: The Tibetan Book of the Great Liberation
Author: W.Y.Evans-Wentz
Edition Year:
Cover: Paperback
Subject: Buddhism
Language: English
Abstract: Like the Tibetan Book of the Dead, this key text for the understanding of Tibetan Buddhism dates back to the time of Padma Sambhava, who may himself have been its author. It sets forth the essence of Mahayana Buddhism, and in this edition is accompanied by the biography of Padma Sambhava. The lengthy and scholarly introduction by Evans-Wentz is again an important commentary on the text itself and the doctrine it contains. - John Pinfold, Tibet (Clio Press)

Title: What is Buddhism?
Author:
Edition Year: 2005
Cover: Paperback
Subject: Buddhism
Language: English
Editedby: Christopher N. Burchett
Abstract: The Buddha and his teachings are nothing new and there is little more that can be added to the vast gamut of literature that is already available. It is for this very purpose that a book like this becomes so important, imparting information to those who wish to know but have little time or inclination to read through reams of very dry, and sometimes obscure and complex literature.
