Concise and sensibly organized, Carus-one of the foremost figures of American Buddhism of the early 20th century-gently explains, in this 1918 book, the faith's \"noble truths\" concerning suffering and its roots, the \"ten evils\" that bedevil us, and the concepts of Karma, Samskara, and Nirvana. A selection of Buddhist poetry, little gems of verse culled from a variety of ancient and contemporary sources, serves as meditations on the life lessons offered here. American philosopher and theologian PAUL CARUS (1852-1919) also wrote The Religion of Science (1893), The Gospel of Buddha (1894), and The History of the Devil (1900).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46892236275863,"sku":"9781596053212","price":1841.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781596053212.webp?v=1770279910","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-dharma-or-the-religion-of-enlightenment-an-exploration-of-buddhism-9781596053212","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
