Présentation de l'éditeur :
Buddhist doctrines. Wherever the compiler has admitted modernization he has done so with due consideration and always in the spirit of a legitimate development. Additions and modifications contain nothing but ideas for which prototypes can be found somewhere among the traditions of Buddhism, and have been introduced as elucidations of its main principles. The best evidence that this book characterizes the spirit of Buddhism correctly can be found in the welcome it has received throughout the entire Buddhist world. It has even been ofificially introduced in Buddhist schools and temples of Japan and Ceylon. Soon after the appearance of the first edition of 1894 the Right Rev. Shaku Soyen, a prominent Buddhist abbot of Kamakura, Japan, had a Japanese translation made by Teitaro Suzuki, and soon afterwards aC hinese version was made by Mr. Ohara ofO tzu, the talented editor of aB uddhist periodical, who in the meantime has unfortunately met with a premature death. In 1895 theO pen Court Publishing Company brought out aG erman edition by E. F. L. Gauss, and Dr. L. de Milloue, the curator of theM usee Guimet, of Paris, followed with a French translation. Dr. Federigo Rodriguez has translated the book intoS panish andF elix Orth into Dutch. The privilege of translating the book into Russian, Czechic, I talian, also intoS iamese and other Oriental tongues has been granted, but of these latter the publishers have received only a version in the Urdu language, a dialect of eastern I ndia.
