Buddhism in Translation: Passages Selected from the Buddhist Sacred Books is a book compiled by Henry Clarke Warren that contains a collection of translated passages from some of the most important Buddhist texts. The book is divided into six sections, each focusing on a different aspect of Buddhist philosophy and practice. The sections include The Buddha, Doctrine, Discipline, The Abhidhamma, The Jatakas, and The Apadanas. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Buddhist teachings, including the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the concept of Nirvana. It also includes stories from the Jatakas, which are tales of the Buddha's past lives, and the Apadanas, which are stories of the Buddha's disciples. The translations are based on the Pali Canon, which is the oldest and most authoritative collection of Buddhist texts. Warren's translations are known for their accuracy and clarity, making this book an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning about Buddhism. Overall, Buddhism in Translation: Passages Selected from the Buddhist Sacred Books is a valuable addition to any Buddhist library and a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the teachings of the Buddha.1915. This work is volume three of the Harvard Oriental Series. The materials for this book are drawn ultimately from the Pali writings of Ceylon and Burma, that is to say they are to be found in palm leaf manuscripts of those countries, written in the Singhalese or Burmese alphabet, as the case may be, but always in the same Pali language, a tongue very akin to the Sanskrit. These Pali writings furnish the most authoritative account of the Buddha and his doctrine that we have. Contents: Buddha; Sentient Existence; Karma and Rebirth; Meditation and Nirvana; The Order; The Five Groups.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
