Description
Buddha's Life and Teaching by Hermann Beckh is a seminal study that offers a unique perspective on Buddhism. Written in 1916, this book remains relevant today due to its accurate scholarship and detailed research. The author, Hermann Beckh, was a leading European authority on Buddhist texts at the time, with expertise in Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Pali languages. His work invites readers to engage with the Buddhist Path, exploring its universal validity through original texts. The book presents Gautama Buddha's life from legend and history, as well as detailing the 'general viewpoints' of Buddhist teaching and the individual stages of the path. Beckh's study offers a fresh approach, shedding new light on the subject through his own research and correspondence with Rudolf Steiner. This expertly collated work is based on a wide knowledge of primary sources, making it an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand Buddhism.
