Rhys Davids is a foundational scholarly examination of early Buddhist teachings and ethical principles, focusing on the concept of Dhamma (the norm or law). Rhys Davids, a pioneering Pali scholar and founder of the Pali Text Society, explores core doctrines such as the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, karma, rebirth, and nirvana. He emphasizes Buddhism as a rational, moral, and philosophical system rather than a theistic religion. The book offers Western readers a structured and accessible introduction to early Theravāda Buddhism, grounded in textual analysis and historical context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rhys Davids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback \u0026amp; Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 265\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyan Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1930\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Buddhism: A Study of the Buddhist Norm available in paperback or hardcover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes – \u003cem\u003eBuddhism: A Study of the Buddhist Norm\u003c\/em\u003e is available here in Paperback and Hardcover; pick the one you want from the options above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat language is this edition in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho wrote Buddhism: A Study of the Buddhist Norm?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuddhism: A Study of the Buddhist Norm is written by Rhys Davids.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Bookston ship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
