Buddha, The Gospel – Paul Carus
BUDDHA, The Gospel
Chicago, The Open Court Publishing Company, [1894]
By “Paul Carus”
The “Gospel of Buddha” is a 19th century (1894) compilation from a variety of Buddhist texts by Paul Carus, it was modeled on the New Testament and told the story of Buddha through parables and was very widely read. It was an important tool in introducing Buddhism to the west and is used as a teaching tool by some Asian sects.
H.G. Wells in his Outline of History draws strong parallels between the essential message of both Buddha and Jesus main: love thy neighbor, and how that message was distorted by followers and the priesthood. Durant in his The Story of Philosophy suggests that Jesus-Buddha is the feminine ideology, Nietzsche the masculine and Plato-Socrates somewhere in between. It was even recommended by Ceylonese Buddhist leaders as a teaching tool for Buddhist children.

Buddha, The Word – Paul Carus
BUDDHA, THE WORD
(The Eightfold Path) By “Paul Carus“ – (1852 – 1919)
In his Buddha, The Word, Paul Carus (1852-1919) compiled some of the fundamental teachings of the Buddhist Canon. The selection here, “The Four Noble Truths” is briefly abridged and composes an excellent introduction to Buddhist thought. At the World Parliament of Religions in 1893, Carus became deeply influenced by Eastern philosophies and published a number of works seeking to bridge Western and Eastern thought.
“A Little About the book…”
After his enlightenment, Buddha elucidated the “Four Noble Truths” in his first instruction to his disciples; briefly stated, these truths explain how: (1) all who live suffer, (2) suffering is a result of self, (3) suffering can be avoided, and (4) suffering can be extinguished by the “Eightfold Path.” The reading selection after this one continues Carus’ compilation of Buddha’s teaching with the “Eightfold Path.”
From the reading…
“Inconceivable is the beginning of this Samsara; not to be discovered is any first beginning of beings, who, obstructed by ignorance, and ensnared by craving, are hurrying and hastening through this round of rebirths.”

The Holy Dhammapada – Thomas Byrom
The Dhammapada
Translated by “Thomas Byrom”
The Dhammapada, an anthology of 423 verses, has long been recognised as one of the masterpieces of early Buddhist literature. From ancient times to the present, the Dhammapada has been regarded as the most succinct expression of the Buddha’s teaching found in the Theravada Pali Canon of scriptures known as the Khuddaka Nikaya (“Minor Collection”) of the Sutta Pitaka.
