BIOGRAPHIE & THÈME:

« Dr Rahula, has here gathered together essays he has written on various aspects of Buddhism. The essay 'Zen and the Taming of the Bull' takes up one of the book's themes : that all the fundamental principles of Zen are already to be found in Theravada.

The remaining essays fall into three sections which re-examine some of the assumptions about Buddhism current in the West. In the first section Dr Rahula surveys in broad outline the history of Buddhism and Buddhist attitudes in the West from pre-Christian times to the present day.

In the second section some fundamental misconceptions and erroneous views are examined and in the third he considers the history of Buddhism as it pertains to Sri Lanka.

Dr Rahula writes in his preface: 'No one attentive to contemporary debate about attitudes to life would dispute the growth of interest in such topics as Zen Buddhism and Theravada. This volume is both a contribution to that debate and an earnest of my hope that it will act as a stimulus to the general reader, as well as to the advanced student, to consider afresh the meaning of Buddhism.' » (présentation éditeur)
