PREFACE
There is no such thing as a Buddhist ‘Bible’, in the sense of an authoritative statement of the teachings of Buddhism, and this for two seasons. First, because the Buddhist recognize no authority, human or divine, for what is truth, or seven for what Gautama the Buddha taught mankind, and secondly, because the range of country, language and time involved in the term Buddhism makes such a volume impossible to compile.
Buddhism, in the sense of the field of thought which has grown up about the Buddha’s name, was born in North India in the sixth century B.C, but within a thousand years or so it was established outside the land of its birth in at least ten countries, each with a defend language, and for fifteen hundred years the volume of Scriptures has been growing steadily. These scriptures range from the value of Sutras, meaning Sermons, alleged to be given by the Buddha, to minor Commentaries admittedly written a thousand years after the life of the Master. Yet few would claim that any sutra (in Pali: Sutta) is in fact in the Buddha’s own words, whereas many of the Commentaries, and the original sermons of later writers, are regarded as only second in value to the Teacher’s words. In its long history Buddhism has produced a number of the greatest minds, and the Scriptures are not closed. Such men are still with us, and in the absence of any better scripture quotation for the very deep teaching of the Kegon School of Japanese Buddhism I have not hesitated, for example, to include an extract from an Address to the Emperor of Japan by Dr. D. T. Suzuki which was later published as the Essence of Buddhism (see No.106)..
The Buddhist Scriptures, then, are a vast collection of writing in a dozen languages having this in common, that they stem from the Buddha’s Enlightenment as expressed through the medium of his own or lesser minds, and that they have the same basis of Teaching which is herein given as the Four Noble Truths (See No. 19). The rest is the Middle way, a way to be trodden by each and every Buddhist as he works out his own salvation with diligence to the same supreme Enlightenment.
