Paperback. Zustand: Fair. After the Torah, the Koran and the Gospels, the Indian literature of "The Perfection of Wisdom" has had the greatest impact on the religious consciousness of mankind.

Though in the end I invariably recovered my nerve and reminded my listeners that it is not so much a matter of Dharma adjusting itself to become adaptable to Americans, but of Americans changing and transforming themselves sufficiently to become acceptable to the Lord Buddha." --Edward Conze, translator, preface. Edward Conze (1904-1979) was an Anglo-German scholar best known for his translations of Buddist texts.…
