The Gospel of Buddha : 9781443720960

This vintage book contains Paul Carus's 1894 work, "The Gospel of Buddha". Modelled on the New Testament, it recounts Buddha's life and teachings in the form of parables. It was an instrumental tool used by many Asian sects to introduce Buddhism to the west in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Contents include: "The Disciple Speaks", "Samsara And Nirvana", "Truth, The Savior", "The Enlightenment", "The Ties Of Life", "The Three Woes", "The Bodhisattvas Renunciation", "King Bimbisara", "The Bodhisattva's Search", "Uruvela, Place Of Mortification", "Mara, The Evil One", "Enlightenment", et cetera. Many vinatge books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
