Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the West, Buddhism is a religion that everyone has heard of but one that few truly understand aside from Buddhists themselves. For almost 2,500 years, Buddhism has been dominant on the Indian subcontinent, based on the traditions, beliefs, and practices that came about from the teachings of the Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama), the Sansrkit word for “the awakened one.” Today, three distinct branches of Buddhism have mostly fanned out across Asia, and it's believed that upwards of half a billion people practice Buddhism today, and some of the traditional practices and principles of the religion, including the concepts of karma, reincarnation and the practice of yoga are all commonplace ideas across the world. Who was the Buddha, how did Buddhism become one of the world's major religions, and what are the main concepts and teachings of the religion? This looks at the history of Buddhism and how it impacted Christianity. From the preface:“A volume that proves that much of the New Testament is parable rather than history will shock many readers, but from the days of Origen and Clement of Alexandria to the days of Swedenborg the same thing has been affirmed. The proof that this parabolic writing has been derived from a previous religion will shock many more. The biographer of Christ has one sole duty, namely, to produce the actual historical Jesus. In the New Testament there are two Christs, an Essene and an anti-Essene Christ, and all modern biographers who have sought to combine the two have failed necessarily. It is the contention of this work that Christ was an Essene monk; that Christianity was Essenism; and that Essenism was due, as Dean Mansel contended, to the Buddhist missionaries "who visited Egypt within two generations of the time of Alexander the Great." ("Gnostic Heresies,")”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the INTRODUCTION. Buddhism is one of the greatest religions of the world. During the three thousand years of its existence, it has been the means of converting innumerable multitudes throughout the East, and in addition to the widely spread religious influence that it has exercised has penetrated into the very depths of philosophical speculation. Whatever there is in Buddhism is all due to the teachings of Sakya-Muni, our Lord. According to the tradition prevalent amongst us, the great Sage was born on the 8th. of April, 1027 B. C, in the garden of Lumhini, in Kapilavastu, a kingdom of Northern India, his parents being Suddhodana, the King of that country, and his Queen Maya. When he was nineteen years old he left his palace in order to study the perfect way; when thirty, he awoke to perfect Enlightenment, and, after fifty years of preaching his doctrines, he died at an advanced age. Now, a few words about Japanese Buddhism. Buddhism entered China A. D. 67, about five centuries later it came into our country through Korea. In the 13th. year of the reign of the Mikado Kimmei (A. D. 552) an image of Buddha and some sacred books were presented to our court by Seimei, King of Kudara, one of the three ancient divisions of Korea, and some fifty years later, tire Prince Imperial, Umayado or Shotoku, becoming an earnest believer in Buddhism himself, strongly urged the people, by constitutional edicts to embrace Buddhism, erected a large number of temples, induced a large number of both sexes to take the vows of religions, and thus propagated the Gospel of Buddha. Thirteen centuries have elapsed since then and now the tree of Buddhism has struck its roots deeply into the soil of our national life and thought while its branches cover the land. The Sacred Books of Buddhism are divided into three divisions (the so-called Tripitaka or three baskets). Precepts {Sutra), Rules of Discipline (Vinaya) and Metaphisics (Abhidharma, or Sastra). We have in our country 1521 Chinese texts, which including the commentaries thereon compose a library of 6589 volumes. In addition to these there are numerous works by Chinese and Japanese Divines. The life of Buddha and the teachings of his disciples have all been carefully and lucidly expounded for us in these Scriptures. We can further compare our Chinese versions with the writings of primitive Buddhism and see that there is neither radical difference of doctrine nor breach of continuity between the so-called Mahayana (Greater Vehicle) and the Hinayana (Lesser Vehicle) Schools of doctrine. Primitive Buddhism was one and undivided. Controversy did, however, break out in the reign of King A solca some 200 years after Buddlia, and, as a result, the Hinayana was broken up into some twenty sects. At a later period (600 A. B.) a Sage of the name of Asvaghosha promulgated the doctrines of the Mahayana, silenced the quibbling sects which troubled the Hinayana School, and put fresh life and vigour into the Buddhist Church. He was followed by the prominent priests Nagarjuna, Deva, Asanga and Vasubandhu all of whom laboured for the spread of Mahayana principles. A casual observer would perhaps think that the doctrine of Buddha which in its principle is one and consistent had now been divided into the two conflicting doctrines of the Hinayana and Mahayana, and indeed party spirit ran very high and there was a wide departure from the true purpose of Buddha. But, in reality, it may be said with more truth the doctrines of the Mahayana are based upon those of Hinayana and that the latter contains the buds and germs of which the fully opened flowers stand revealed in the former. The two doctrines have indeed no essentially different characteristics, as will be seen from the following paragraphs in which we hope to demonstrate the truth of our assertion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Setting Out on the Great Way brings together different perspectives on the origins and early history of Mahāyāna Buddhism and delves into selected aspects of its formative period. As the variety of the religion which conquered East Asia and also provided the matrix for the later development of Buddhist Tantra or Vajrayāna, Mahāyāna is regarded as one of the most significant forms of Buddhism, and its beginnings have long been the focus of intense scholarly attention and debate. The essays in this volume address the latest findings in the field, including contributions by younger researchers vigorously critiquing the reappraisal of the Mahāyāna carried out by scholars in the last decades of the 20th century and the different understanding of the movement which they produced. As the study of Buddhism as a whole reorients itself to embrace new methods and paradigms, while at the same time coming to terms with exciting new manuscript discoveries, our picture of the Mahāyāna continues to change. This volume presents the latest developments in this ongoing re-evaluation of one of Buddhism's most important historical expressions.
