Book Synopsis Buddhist India by : Thomas William Rhys Davids
Download or read book Buddhist India written by Thomas William Rhys Davids and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1971 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1903. In this volume Rhys, the celebrated Buddhist scholar, attempts to describe ancient India, during the period of Buddhist ascendancy, from the point of view, not so much of the brahmin, as of the rajput. The two points of view naturally differ very much. Priest and noble in India have always worked very well together so long as the question at issue did not touch their own rival claims as against one another. When it did-and it did so especially during the period referred to-the harmony, as will be evident from the following pages, was not so great.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religions of India: Brahmanism and Buddhism I'he study of religions outside of Christianity has now overcome many of the prejudices which hindered its earlier growth. It has no longer to contend with the suspicion that the effort to understand other religions will make us attach less value to our own. On the contrary, the tendency of the study of religions is seen more and more to strengthen the hold of Christianity upon us. The student of this science is led to see very clearly how all men need religion and have provided themselves in one way or another with access to'the powers above them. But it happens very rarely that even the most sympathetic study of a foreign religion leads anyone to prefer it to his own. In contemplating other faiths, we do, it is true, become aware that some features of Christianity are stronger than others and do more to qualify it to spread over the world. We have to distinguish between the essence of Christianity, in which lies the secret of its power, and its accidental features. That surely must confirm and not weaken the tie that binds us to Christ. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Indian Saint; Or Buddha and Buddhism: A Sketch, Historical and Critical It is difficult, very difficult, to penetrate the spirit and genius of a faith so remote, and in many respects foreign to our own, to interpret it, take its measure justly, weigh it well. Still more difficult, perhaps, to one who should have outgrown, in some degree at least, as is hoped, the Christian limitation, to preserve still the perfect poise, to escape prepossession on the other side, and draw the picture without a shade of flattery.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Social Organisation in North-East India, in Buddha's Time That I have placed the culture which the Jatakas exhibit in north-eastern India, will, I hope, not provoke any opposition. For although most of the stories contained in our sources are, so far as their contents are con cerned, the common property of the Indian people and were known all over India, yet in the form in which they appear in the Jatakas, they belong to a particular part of India, namely, the north-east, the home of Buddhism.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Layman Revato a Story of a Restless Mind in Buddhist India at the Time of Greek Influence Buddhist Constantine. It projects an interplay between Buddhism and Hellenism, like that which has left a trace on the Punjab monuments, into the Ganges valley at this earlier period; yet where and when an intercourse had actually been established for two generations. We shall see an architect and sculptor, whom Asoko has procured from a Western land, beautifully externalizing the conceptions of the puritanic Buddhism, yet perverting them by an idolatrous apotheosis. As we bring together, in many ways, the cultures and ideals of East and West, we shall observe their reactions, thus making a moral laboratory study of the world. But this is not all that my book means. So com plex are its contents and purposes, that I do not know how to indicate them in brief. On one hand, it is a conglomerate from the literature of its age.

Book Synopsis The Beginnings of Buddhist Art by : A. Foucher
Download or read book The Beginnings of Buddhist Art written by A. Foucher and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of Buddhist Art: And Other Essays in Indian and Central-Asian Archeology To the rather limited circle of scholars interested in Indian Art and Archaeology the work of M. Foucher requires no introduction. His numerous studies devoted to these subjects, and in particular his comprehensive treatise on the gram-buddhist Art of Gandhara, have fully established his position as a leader in this sphere. A collective edition of his essays and addresses, dispersed in various serial and periodical publications, will therefore be sure of a warm welcome. The translators do not disavow a hope that this English version may appeal not only to those readers, chie y in the East, to whom the author's original presents a difficulty, but also to a rather wider public in England and America. Aware of the interest which in Paris attended the delivery of M. Foucher's lectures, they would regret the charm had so far evaporated in translation as to forfeit a share in the growing appreciation of Oriental art.
