by Edward Conze ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 20, 1956
Another volume in the Ethical and Religious Classics of East and West series, compiled and edited by the vice-president of the Buddhist Society. He has made the outstanding documents available by translating them directly from the Pali, Sanskrit and Tibetan. An introductory essay deals with the meaning of Buddhist meditation, its range and principal divisions, and the relation of its methods and presuppositions to modern psychology. Dr. Conze has been teaching psychology for the last twenty years, so he is equally familiar with the ancient and modern approach to the problems of mental health. This book will attract those whose study of mankind leaves all doors open to the truth from whatever source it may come.
