The Essence of Buddha-Dhamma

BY H .de S. KULARATNE  J.P.U.M.

GALLE  (Ceylon)

FOREWORD

I HOPE THIS BOOK WILL BENEFIT THE ENGLISH educated men and women, most of whom have not had the opportunity of studying the Tripitaka (the Buddhist Bible)either in the original Pali or in the form of translations. The Tripitaka consists of the Sutta, Vinaya and the Abhidhamma Pitakas. Pitaka literally means a basket. The Sutta Pitaka contains some of the Discourses of the Buddha addressed at various time and various places to the Sangha (Bhikkus or Monks) or the learned Brahamins, Kings, ministers and to many religious mendicants or ordinary laymen. These sermons are of general applicability. The Vinaya Pitaka deals mainly with the rules and regulations laid down for the good conduct of the monks, but the laymen too many read this Pitaka with profit. The Abhidhamma Pitaka is Buddhist Methaphysics,Psychology is a comparatively modern science and the knowledge about the mind so far gained by scientists is very small indeed compared with the perfect system of Buddhist psychology to be found in the Abhidhamma Pitaka. This teaching explains scientifically the Truths proclaimed by the Buddha. The Sutta Pitaka has five main Nikáyas and the last Nikáya, Khuddaka, has fifteen books. The Vinaya has five volumes and the Abhidhamma seven volumes.
