520			_aAbout the Book:-This is a little hand-book of the sayings of the Buddha on various topics and at various times. Gautama Buddha was born more than 500 years before Christ and, like Christ, left no written record. From the oral tradition of his teachings, which was handed down by his disciples, we know with a high degree of accuracy the general principles which he sought to inculcate.

The sayings are arranged under 18 subjects, among which are: the beginnings; the early order; teachings; stability of society; in time of sickness; charity; life, death and after; Devdatta; Buddha shows the way; Nibbana defined; last days, etc. This work was first published in 1940.
