<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This indispensable volume is a lucid and faithful account of the Buddha's teachings. "For years," says the <i>Journal of the Buddhist Society</i>, "the newcomer to Buddhism has lacked a simple and reliable introduction to the complexities of the subject. Dr. Rahula's <i>What the Buddha Taught</i> fills the need as only could be done by one having a firm grasp of the vast material to be sifted.
