Publisher's Synopsis

Ceylon Buddhism: Being The Collected Writings Of Daniel John Gogerly (1908) is a book that compiles the works of Daniel John Gogerly, a British missionary who spent many years in Sri Lanka studying Buddhism. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the religion as practiced in Sri Lanka, also known as Ceylon at the time of Gogerly's writings. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of Buddhism. Some of the topics discussed include the history of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, the teachings of the Buddha, the role of the sangha (monastic community), and the relationship between Buddhism and other religions. Gogerly's writings are based on his extensive research and personal experiences living among Sri Lankan Buddhists. He provides detailed descriptions of Buddhist practices and rituals, as well as insights into the beliefs and values that underpin the religion. Overall, Ceylon Buddhism: Being The Collected Writings Of Daniel John Gogerly (1908) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about Buddhism in Sri Lanka. It provides a unique perspective on the religion from an outsider who was deeply immersed in its culture and traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
