Trübner's Oriental Series: A Manual Of Buddhist Philosophy: Cosmology (trubner's Oriental Series) (volume 51)

This is Volume VIII of sixteen in a collection on Buddhism. Originally published in 1923, this volume looks at cosmology. All forms of Buddhism, however divergent, claim to have but three objects of worship: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.. The first is the founder of the faith, the second the teaching which he gave, and the third the order which he founded. Regarding each of the Ratnas or jewels, as they are called, an enormous amount of speculation has grown up, with many different opinions concerning the proper method of interpretation. Trbner's Oriental Series was set up by Kegan Paul Trench & Trbner in 1890. It was undoubtedly the most important English language series in oriental studies of the period, publishing works between 1890 and 1930. The books in the series reflected the scholarly interests of the time, and covered an enormous variety of topics pertaining to Asia, Africa and the Middle language and literatures; religion and philosophy; history and economics, to name but a few. Studies by well-known scholars include Romesh Chunder Dutt on the economic history of India, Emil Bretschneider on the Chinese sources of Asian geography, Donald Campbell on Arabian medicine and William MacGovern on Buddhist philosophy. There are also insights into the early studies of Feng-shui, Hindu mythology and natural history. Many of the titles in the original series have long been out of print.
