Publisher's Synopsis
The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. Buddhist Suttas (1881) translated by T.W. Rhys Davids, is volume XI of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book focuses on Buddhism and includes the Book of the Great Decease, similar to Christian Gospel, as well as truths and mysticism central to the Buddhist faith, a must-read for anyone interested in Buddhism.
