| 抄録 | Since the appearance of the epoch making works of Rhys-Davids, Kern and Oldenberg, the sources for the history of Buddha and Buddhism, have been greatly increased. The present work attempts to set forth what is known from the records, and to utilize information that has never yet been presented in a Western Forum.
It is undeniable that in the story of Buddha there has been a growth, and even in the oldest documents we can trace records of varying antiquity. In these pages an attempt has been made to distinguish the earliest accounts, but this does not touch the fundamental question: Is there a historical basis at all? The matter stands just as in the case of any historical person, viz., Socrates, Muhammad or Bonaparte. We have many records; many related facts, dates and archaeological remains, as well as the actually existing Buddhistic peoples with their systems.
The book is an important addition to the epoch making works of Rhys David, Kern and Oldenberg so far as the source books for the life of Buddha and history of Buddhism. Till then, scholars particularly in Germany and England used to depend almost entirely on the Pali Sources. E.J.Thomas felt that the Sanskrit was "needed to be equally closely analyzed". Sanskrit, Tibetan and Chinese sources are no less important for a comparative study. Searches for the man eliminating the influence of legends, church and make belief lead to the pulling down of the present mystical superstructure of the study. The world particularly, India is now faced with religious fundamentalists. This study, if soberly followed will help the present generation to combat the growing menace of fundamentalists in India and abroad. We are grateful to the publisher for bringing out this Indian Edition and thereby making it easily available to Indian readers.
