"For years, the newcomer to Buddhism has lacked a simple and reliable introduction to the complexities of the subject. Dr. Rahula's What the Budda Taught fills the need as only could be done by one having a firm grasp of the vast material to be sifted. Authoritative and clear, logical and sober, this study is as comprehensive as it is masterly."--Journal of the Buddhist Society Dr. Walpola Sri Rahula, himself a Buddhist monk and scholar, received the traditional monastic training and education in his ancient religion in Ceylon and held eminent positions in one of the leading monastic institutes (Pirivena). 151 pp. Illustrated.
