"The aim of the volume is to explain the life and doctrines of Buddha in their best form, and it is successfully carried out."Public Opinion, Washington.
"Of most absorbing interest and of greatest ethical value. . . . A similar compilation of all the ancient religions would make a priceless addition to the reference library. Available for ready reference."-Every Saturday, Elgin, Ill.
"Dr. Paul Carus has admirably collated the teachings of Gautama Buddha, heretofore scattered through the Sacred Books of the East, and nowhere else to be found harmoniously and systematically massed together. It is a work akin to that of the compilers of the Christian Gospels, and deserves recognition as a valuable contribution to the world's knowledge."-The World, New York.
"In addition to a very luminous and suggestive preface, he furnishes a table of references, showing at an eye-glance the sources of his extracts and the parallelisms in the Gospels. He gives, also, a glossary of names and terms, a method of pronunciation, and a good index. The simplicity of this presentation, the freedom of the text from notes or uncouth and outlandish diacritical points, and the general arrangement of the work are admirable. . . It is admirably fitted to be a handbook for the single reader or for classes." -The Critic, N. Y.
