Description
The book provides with an opportunity to dwell into the self-examination of the author and his experiences with what he thinks is one of the most important aspects of Buddhism, the old monastic Buddhism and its theories on salvation. The book is a collection of Six Hibbert Lectures on Ancient Buddhism as a Discipline of Salvation, delivered at Manchester College, Oxford, by L. De La Vallee Poussin, prepared on popular demand from the scholars and lay readers alike. It still remains one of the best introductions to the subject.
