Modern times -- GLOSSARY -- BIBLIOGRAPHYIn this slim, enlightening volume, internationally recognized Buddhist teacher Martine Batchelor presents the basic tenets and teachings of the Buddha through a selection of essential texts from the Pali canon, the earliest Buddhist scriptures. Viewed by scholars as the actual substance of the historical teachings (and possibly even the words) of the Buddha, these texts are essential to an understanding of the Buddhist faith, and Batchelor illuminates them with her lucid analysis and interpretations. Both accessible to nonpractitioners and helpful to scholars, The Spirit of the Buddha touches upon key themes, including dharma, compassion, meditation, and peace, among others, creating a panoramic view of one of the world's most widely practiced faiths that is deeply rooted in its most vital texts.Sacred literature series.BuddhismDoctrinesElectronic books.BuddhismDoctrines.294.3/82Batchelor Martine1038703MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461933103321The spirit of the Buddha2460455UNINA
