PREFACE

        It was indeed very gracious of the Hon’ble U Nu to accept our invitation to deliver the Kamala Lectures for the year 1943, and fulfil his assignment much earlier than we had expected of one like him who has to carry on his shoulders burden of woes and worries of millions of people in his own land and outside. We of the University of Calcutta have, therefore, reason to be grateful to him.

        There is one more reason why we should feel doubly grateful to him. An intensely devout follower in life, thought and action of the Lord Buddha and his way of life, U Nu chose to speak to us on the life of the Master and his teachings. The four lectures that go to make his book were originally delivered in English. But at the same time he wanted us to have these lectures translated and published in book form in as many as five major Indian languages 1 Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati and Tamil, to which end he made over to this University an amount of Rs. 10,724 only. The University accepted both, his noble suggestion and his gracious gift. The translations are now under preparation and we hope to be able to publish them without any loss of time.

        U Nu prefaced his lectures by saying that he was not a professional scholar and that he was speaking for the average intelligent reader or listener, and not for scholars and specialists. I am sure it was an expression of deep humility that characterises his personality, but at the same time I have no doubt that these lectures will be appreciated as deeply by scholars and specialists as by the average reader.
