Description

-The book titled “Buddha and Pratîtyasamutpâda” contains two main themes— a short life-story of Tathâgata Buddha and a brief presentation on Pratîtyasamutpâda (dependent origination) in English language. The life-story of Buddha is particularly based on Mahâyâna sources while the theme Pratîtyasamutpâda has been discussed from different viewpoints together with examples. In terms of the quantity of words, though it has less in number, yet its subject matter ‘Pratîtyasamutpâda’ is very profound and subtle because it is the backbone of the entire Buddhist philosophy. The presentation of four noble truths, saôsâra and nirvâòa, law of karma and its result, existence of past and future lives and so on are discussed and established on the basis of Pratîtyasamutpâda.
