The way of Buddhism: its ideals and philosophy, its religious and moral principles and practices, its implications in the political, social and cultural life of its followers.

Edited by Richard A. Gard. [Extracts from various authors, with a commentary.]

From the Front Cover: "The Way of Buddhism: its ideals and philosophy, its religious and moral principles and practices, its implications in the political, social and cultural life of its followers." From the Back Cover: "Each volume [of this 6-volume series] contains an extensive selection of the most important writings of the religious tradition, organized with the editor's introductions and interpretations, to form a coherent and meaningful account of the religion from the viewpoint of its own testimony on its beliefs and practices."

This book is not a criltical review or commentary, but rather an exposition drawn from sources its believers consider valid and authoritative. Faith in the principles of the religion (an awkward term for Buddhists) is presumed. ( )
