Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Buddhist India is a book written by T. W. Rhys Davids and originally published in 1911. The book is a comprehensive study of the history and development of Buddhism in India, from its origins in the 6th century BCE to its decline and eventual disappearance from the country by the 12th century CE. Davids discusses the life of the Buddha, the teachings of Buddhism, and the spread of the religion throughout India and beyond. He also examines the impact of Buddhism on Indian society, culture, and politics, as well as the various sects and schools of Buddhism that emerged over time. The book provides a detailed analysis of the Buddhist scriptures, including the Pali Canon, and explores the role of monasticism and the lives of Buddhist monks and nuns. It also discusses the interaction between Buddhism and other religions in India, such as Hinduism and Jainism. Overall, Buddhist India is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of Buddhism, as well as the cultural and religious history of India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
