Book Description: "The Creed of Buddha quickly established itself, upon publication, as a famous journey to explore the deeper meaning of Buddha's wonderful scheme of life, and to fathom the secret of his mysterious silence. Holmes uses subtle sympathy and imaginative insight to enter the thoughts of the great teacher. A serious and sympathetic study of this famous book will provide the reader with the necessary understanding in his attempt to life the veil of Buddha's silence and interpret his unformulated creed."

"What the science of the West is doing for the growth (and the development) of wheat and barley, Buddha did for the growth of the soul. He taught men that, if they would bring their lives into harmony with certain fundamental laws of Nature, their souls would grow--as well-tended crops grow--vigorously and healthily; and that the sense of well-being which accompanies successful growth, and which, when consciously realized, is true happiness, would be theirs." [From Chapter IX, "Light From the East"] THE CREED OF BUDDHA: How the True Teachings of Buddhism Can Revitalize Western Science and Spirituality shines a brilliant intellectual light on the inner teachings of the Buddhist religion, and makes a convincing argument for the revolutionary role Buddha's unique, enlightened understanding of the mind and soul of Humanity may be destined to play in the revitalization of Western materialist science and supernatural spirituality.

This is the extended and annotated edition including * an extensive annotation of more than 10.000 words about the history and basics of Buddhism, written by Thomas William Rhys Davids * an interactive table-of-contents * perfect formatting for electronic reading devices The author of " The Creed of Buddha " can safely say that no better exposition of Buddhism has ever been given to the world. It is sympathetic, it is scholarly, and it is complete. Between east and west, says the author, a gulf has been fixed, a gulf created by basic ideas, hollowed out by the erosive action of speculative thought. The Western mind takes for granted the reality of outward things. The Eastern mind attributes the only reality to the soul. All else is maya, illusion. And there are very few that can bridge thatgulf.In the East, where the soul is the supreme and fundamental reality, the identification of God with the world-soul, or soul of universal Mature, is the outcome of a movement of thought which is at once natural and logical. This divine soul is the only real existence: by comparison with it all outward things are shadows, and all inward things, so far as they hold aloof from the all-embracing consciousness, are dreams. The worship of the supernatural, such as is to be found in Christianity, often ends in the despiritualization of Nature. which becomes merely the world without and therefore opposed to the Supernatural, which becomes the dwelling place of God .
