London: Michael Joseph, 1960. 280 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H). "The wisdom of Buddhism is to be found in its Scriptures and here is an attempt to compile a balanced selection from Buddhist writings. To reflect the growing Western interest in the subject, the Scriptures used by the Zen School of China and Japan are generously represented, there are chapters on the Buddha, Tibetan Buddhism, Concentration and Meditation, the Buddhist Order, and Nirvana. In this anthology (the author) has given the source of each item and added a glossary and an index."
