PREFACE

Since my retirement more than twenty years ago from the educational service as a Professor, I have devoted myself, among other studies, to an intensive study of some Pali and Buddhist Sanskrit works. The Mahãvastu-avadãna on which I based some of my lectures published in this book had given me a very great impetus to my study on the various episodes of Buddha’s life and many aspects of his religion (Buddhism). The seven lectures which are published in the present book are all on Buddhist topics and they were delivered in meetings hold by the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, Calcutta on different dates and were published in its Bulletins. Only the first lecture was published in the Prabuddha-Bhãrata. Lectures 2,3,4,5 and 7 were respectively published in the July and August issue of 1956, the November issue of 1953, the February issue of 1953, the June issue of 1960 and the April and May issues of 1957 in the Bulletins of the institute. Lecture 1 was published in the May and June issues of 1952 in the Prabuddha-Bhãrata of Mayavati, Almora. Lecture 6 will be published in an issue of the institute’s Bulletin.
