This is an older book being rereleased. It was first published in 1870. There is much discussion regarding the year of the Buddha’ birth and death. There are twenty-six chapters which include scriptures believed to be written by the Buddha. It is an almost a form of poetry. I had to read this several times because of the informative footnotes. Once I read it through the first time with the footnotes, the read was much smoother, and I was able to understand it better. Lovely and insightful sayings.
