Descrizione

About The Book -: The aim has rather been to turn Buddhism to account as a moral force by bringing together a selection of its beautiful sentiments and lofty maxims, and particularly by including some of those which inculcate mercy to the lower animals. In regard to the sources quoted from, considerable latitude seemed allowable. They do not all, by any means, possess canonical authority. But they are all distinctly Buddhist in character. The supposed dates of the originals range from at least the third century B.C. to mediaeval and later times. Thecontext of the passage, and the date and the authorship of the original work, may all need to be taken into account; while it must also be borne in mind that the religious terms, such as “heaven” and “sin,” which have to be employed in English, do not always correspond exactly to the Buddhist conception.
