Theme Volume 1 (The Teaching) ... Paperback, approx. 103 pages ----- Buddhism has enjoyed increasing popularity in Western countries for decades. Unfortunately, often only some catchwords are taken over thoughtlessly and strikingly, but then do not give in their supposed meaning approximately the real doctrinal opinion of the Buddha. ----- Here now the core statements of the Buddhist teachings are conveyed in a well-founded and yet generally understandable way, i.e. without a linguistic-intellectual superstructure. The basis for this series of writings is the Theravada Buddhism handed down in the 'Pali Canon' - that is, the form taught largely true to the original by the Buddha. ----- Any serious examination of Buddhism is always a work-in-progress. Therefore a limitation of this booklet edition is neither foreseen nor planned. The series will be continuously corrected, supplemented and continued by further volumes at irregular intervals... ----- Main topics in this volume: The four truths - The eightfold path, understandably explained - The Buddhist ethics (Sila) - Mahayana, Hinayana and the Buddhist scriptures - and many more... ----- Complementary to this has been published: Volume 2: (The Meditation Practice Book) ----- The following thematic volumes are in preparation or already in translation: Volume 3 (Focus on Karma, Nirvana, Enlightenment, etc.), Volume 4 (Focus on Rebirth, Samsara, etc.)
