THE BUDDHA AND HIS TEACHINGS provides a good source of information for those who wish to understand the life of the Buddha and his fundamental teachings. The book was first published in 1942. The present edition has been revised and expanded. Though primarily intended for students and beginners rather than scholars, the reader will find it an extremely valuable handbook, offering a sound foundation to the basic tenets of Buddhism as found in its original Pali tradition. Besides providing a comprehensive account of the life of the Buddha and his chief disciples, the moral and ethical code of conduct, culminating in the Ten Perfections, a considerable portion of the book deals with current issues in Buddhist studies regarding karma, rebirth, and Nibbana. It also includes an introduction to Buddhist meditation with particular reference to the practice of the Four Sublime States (or Brahma Viharas) namely Metta (loving-kindness), Karuna (Compassion), Mudita (Sympathetic Joy), and Upekkha (Equanimity). The author, the Venerable Narada Maha Thera, is a well-known Buddhist missionary from Sri Lanka. He is also the author of many other Buddhist publications well-used among students of Buddhism. We are grateful to him for his kind permission, enabling this reprint to be effected in Malaysia.
