The Teaching of Buddha

Anyone who has stayed in a hotel in Japan has
probably seen a copy of The Teaching of
Buddha. First published in 1925, the book was
originally edited by Japanese scholars of
Buddhism before WWII and distributed widely
throughout Japan. The first English edition was
published in 1934. The Reverend Dr. Y ehan
Numata brought out another English edition in
1962, and in 1966, after the establishment of the
Bukkyo Dendo Kyokai (BDK) (Society for the
Promotion of Buddhism), Dr. Numata assembled
a committee of Buddhist scholars to
substantially revise and edit a new English-Japanese edition. The
Teaching of Buddha has undergone minor revisions and numerous
reprintings since. It is now available in fourty-one languages and over 7
million copies have been distributed and placed in hotel rooms in over
fifty countries throughout the world.
The Teaching of Buddha is a
collection of writings on the
essence of Buddhism, selected
and edited from the vast
Buddhist canon, presented in a
concise, easy-to-read, and
nonsectarian format. It also
includes a brief history of
Buddhism, a listing of the source texts, a glossary of Sanskrit terms, and
an index.
To place an order for a free copy of "The Teaching of Buddha" book,
please inquire with your nearest affiliate operation of the Bukkyo Dendo
Kyokai.
