Basic Tenets of Buddhism
Aids to study and teaching of the Dhamma
C. NYÀNASATTA THERA
Publish by
Anada Semage, Rajagiriya, Ceylon
FOREWORD
The carbon copy and the first set of the printed sheets of The Basic Tenets Of Buddhism have been in the past years read by several guest and resident student of the Verdant Hermitage and have served as the first introduction to new students and as a Refresh course to advanced students of the Dhamma. Thought most of them did not want to read more than a chapter or two, none could lay the whole manuscript aside but read attentively the whole book from beginning to end and it was to them a real Refresher course in the Dhamma or a good first introduction to a systematic study of Buddhism.
As expressed by most readers, while reading The Basic Tenets of Buddhism, from the first line up to the last page, the reader feels that here a teacher has applied his knowledge of the principles of education, the methods of teaching, psychology of learning and teaching, briefly pedagogy, that is to say, the science and art of teaching, to the exposition of the Dhamma for the adult students of Buddhism.
Acquisition, fixation and application, correct presentation, judicious distribution of the material, using both induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, starting with the known and the simple, and leading the reader by an easy and graduated course into the realm of the yet unknown or little known and the more complex, forestalling all criticism by answering all possible objections and questions arising out of the exposition, frequent review and restatement of earlier points taught in previous chapters, outlines at the beginning and summaries at the end, brevity and simplicity of expression: all this has been appreciated and praised as the work of an expert in teaching.
