| Abstract | The Gospel of Buddha, the classic text on Buddhism that first introduced many Westerners to Buddha and his
teachings, was first published in 1894 and immediately became a worldwide bestseller. Author Paul Carus (1852-1919)
collected many accounts of Buddha's life, teachings, and death, and fashioned a coherent and gripping narrative. It was
easily understood and popular with Americans because it resembled a Christian "gospel." Martin Verhoeven's detailed
introduction describes the circumstances surrounding Carus's achievement, and the book's relation to other strands of
Buddhist teaching. This edition also includes 25 newly rediscovered paintings by the renowned Buddhist artist Yamada. |
