One of the most marked signs of the times is the close attention that is being paid to psychological research, the results of which are being followed with the greatest interest by an intelligent public, and the continued advanced of which promises to be one of the most hopeful activities of modern science. The observation, analysis, and classification of mental phenomena are being pursued with untiring energy, and the problems of mind attacked on all side with refreshing vigour. In brief, the new science of psychology seems to promise at no distant date to become one of the most fruitful, if not the most fruitful, field of human tillage. But turn where we will to our manuals or special studies, we find no reference to the patient work of many centuries accomplished by the introspective genius of the East. In this field none have laboured with greater industry and acumen than the Buddhist thinkers, whose whole philosophy and therewith also their religion rests on a psychological basis. Not only so, but some of their main contentions are very similar to the later views advanced by the dominant schools of modern research. The work of these profound analysts of the nature of mind should, therefore, by no means be neglected by modern psychologists and those who are interested in their instructive labours and who that desires to know himself can fail to be so interested? It must, however, be admitted that there is some excuse for previous neglect owing to the lack of books designed to smooth the way for those unacquainted with Oriental studies. It is with the hope of making a start in this direction that the present valuable introduction has been secured from the pen of one who is acknowledged to be the most competent student of the subject in the West.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Sakya or Buddhist Origins by Caroline A. F. Rhys Davids remains a seminal work in Buddhist scholarship, first published in 1928 and still highly relevant today. Through meticulous archaeological and textual analysis, Rhys Davids endeavors to uncover the authentic teachings of Gautama Buddha from the layers of later interpretations found in Pali scriptures. Divided into two parts, the book first explores the original message of the Buddhaintended for direct transmission among individualsbefore it was adapted to fit monastic structures and ideals. Rhys Davids' approach, akin to that of an archaeologist excavating layers of history, sheds light on how Buddhism evolved from its pristine origins to accommodate institutional frameworks. The book includes an appendix delving into the Pali Pitakas, further enriching its scholarly depth. Rhys Davids, known for her expertise in Pali language and Buddhist studies, brings her considerable intellect and insight to bear in this text, providing a critical examination that challenges established interpretations and encourages further research. Her work not only clarifies the early teachings of Buddhism but also stimulates ongoing discourse and exploration within the field. Caroline A. F. Rhys Davids' legacy as a pioneering scholar and translator of Buddhist texts is palpable throughout this illuminating study.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Jātakas is one of the three-fold Pali Buddhist Canon or Pi]takas. It contains around 550 stories from previous births of Buddha, both in human and animal forms. This illustrates the spiritual practices, acts, qualities, and personality of Buddha. The Jātaka stories narrate how Buddha plays the role of an intermediator, and gives a happy ending. Jātakas also narrate how to achieve Buddha-hood and narrates the story within the framework of Karma and rebirth. Jātakas were trans¬lated into many modern European and Indic languages such as German, Hindi, etc. Stories of the Buddha contains 47 selected tales collected from the original Jātakas, translated into English to make the teachings of Buddha alive in the minds of modern readers and scholars associated with Buddhism. About the Author C.A.F. Rhys Davids (1857-1942) was a Pali scholar and the honorary secretary of the Pali Text Society from 1907, and its president from 1923 to 1942. She was educated at University College, London. She was served as Lecturer in Indian Philosophy at Victoria University of Manchester (1910-1913); and Lecturer in the History of Buddhism at SOAS (1918-1933). She wrote several books, such as Buddhism: A Study of the Buddhist Norm; Buddhist Psychology: An Inquiry into the Analysis and Theory of Mind in Pāli Literature; A Manual of Buddhism for Advanced Students; Outlines of Buddhism: A Historical Sketch, etc.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The book is an attempt to envisage faithfully something true in the history of a very interesting current in human ideas. This something true is the analysis and theory of mind in the movement and culture we understand by early Buddhism, as well as in that of its direct descendant still thriving in Burma, Ceylon and Siam, called Theravada, or the Doctrine of the elders. This also is called a Buddhism-some call it Hina Yana, some Southern Bddhism. While scholars are beginning to get at and decipher the long buried treasure of Buddhist writings brought from Mid-Asia, the general reader is being told that the group of other descendants from Early Buddhism called Maha Yanism, is not only evolved from the earlier doctrine, but is its completion and apotheosis. The second object is to bring nearer the day when the historical treatment of psychology will find it impossible to pretend that the observation and analysis of mind began with the pre-Socratics. Psychologists are some them, curiously unhistorical, even with regard to the European field with its high fence of ignorance and prejudice. With so large an object in so small a book, it has been impossible to compare the line of descent I have chosen with other lines, even with that of the Madhyamika school, in which Professor de la Vallee Poussin has revealed much interesting psychological matter. I have also to apologize for bringing in several terms in the original. This was as inevitable, for clearness and unambiguity, as would be that use of corresponding Greek words in writing on Greek psychology. But we are more used to Greek words. Finally, if I have repeated statements made in previous writings, it was to avoid irritating the reader by too many references, as if suggesting that he might as well be reading not one book, but three of four.
