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 lay…ers 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.
