Présentation de l'éditeur

This unique anthology of Buddhist scripture traces the development of Buddhism through the ages and around the world. Designed to serve scholars and students, this classic text has also become a valuable resource for Buddhists and all those who wish to explore for themselves the original sources of one of the world's greatest religions. Accessible and jargon-free, these translations are presented in plain English by four leading experts on the language and literature of Buddhism, while a glossary of foreign terms completes a thoroughly comprehensive and timeless introduction to the subject.
