Publisher’s notes
Here, concisely and clearly stated, is the wisdom of the East in a discerning study that clarifies the meaning and permanent values of Buddhism. Going directly to the earliest known scriptures of Buddhist thinking. Professor Bahm declares the whole philosophy rests on a single psychological principle: to avoid frustration, avoid desiring the unattainable. Yet one is not to stop desiring altogether but rather is to bring his desires into harmony with reality and thus attain Nirvana, the highest of all goals. Through these complexities Dr. Bahm guides the general reader, offering him a fresh original and illuminating view of a rich and significant philosophy.
