FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this volume are collected two works that complement each other very well, each being in its own way at the heart of Sangharakshitas writings. A Survey of Buddhism was first published in 1957, and Lama Anagarika Govinda wrote of that first edition, It would be difficult to find a single book in which the history and development of Buddhist thought has been described as vividly and clearly as in this survey. For all those who wish to know the heart, the essence of Buddhism as an integrated whole, there can be no better guide than this book. The Survey, whose ninth edition is reproduced here, continues to provide an indispensable study of the entire field of Buddhist thought and practice, covering all major doctrines and traditions, and placing their development in historical and cultural context.The Buddhas Noble Eightfold Path of course outlines the best-known formulation of the Buddhas teaching, and if its name sounds archaic, Sangharakshitas vivid explanation of how to follow that path provides a fresh and inspiring guide. Here, to the original text are added seminar extracts that give a range of helpful perspectives on the stages of the path.This volume includes a full section of endnotes locating the teachings to the suttas and sutras that inspired them, as well as a Foreword by Dharmachari Subhuti looking at these two texts from an inspirational and a critical perspective, and bringing out the inner connection between them. Author Biography Sangharakshita is the founder and principal teacher of Triratna, a worldwide Buddhist movement. With teaching experience spanning 60 years, he is the author of over 40 books.
