About the book

In «The Gospel of Buddha, Compiled from Ancient Records,» Paul Carus presents a meticulous synthesis of Buddhist teachings, drawn from a variety of ancient texts, including the Pali Canon and Mahayana scriptures. Carus employs a clear and accessible literary style that effectively translates complex spiritual concepts into a narrative rich with philosophical insight. This work situates itself within the late 19th-century context of Western fascination with Eastern religions, aiming to demystify Buddhism for a Western audience while preserving its authentic essence and teachings on ethics, compassion, and enlightenment. Paul Carus, a pioneering scholar and philosopher, was instrumental in the introduction of Eastern thought to the Western world. His background in philosophy and his close association with prominent figures in both the American and European intellectual circles allowed him to bridge cultural gaps. Carus'Äôs interest in Buddhism was not merely scholarly; it was driven by a desire to promote understanding and harmony among differing belief systems during a period marked by religious and cultural upheaval. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking an introductory yet profound exploration of Buddhist philosophy. Carus'Äôs informative prose makes it suitable for novices and scholars alike, encouraging a deep appreciation of Buddhism's moral teachings. «The Gospel of Buddha» is essential for anyone interested in understanding the spiritual and ethical dimensions of this ancient tradition.
