The Four Noble Truths And The Eightfold Path: Historically Annotated Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783988687296)

Including a historical annotation on Buddhism's history and essential teachings. *** Paul Carus' book is literally a compilation of Buddha's fundamental teachings: the four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and his sermons and advice to his disciples. Buddha explains how nirvana can result from the discipline of the Noble Eightfold Path, whereas he himself never claimed divine authority. He always emphasized that each person should trust his own experience. *** Echoes of the Eternal is a monumental series that brings together the defining texts of the world's spiritual, religious, and mythic heritage. From the sacred scriptures of Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, and other global faiths, to the mystical writings of saints and sages, the myths of ancient civilizations, and the arcane literature of secret societies and occult traditions-this collection explores the full spectrum of humanity's search for the divine, the mysterious, and the transcendent. Each volume shapes spiritual consciousness and cultural identity across time. Whether it is the poetic wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, the visionary revelations of the Qur'an, the esoteric allegories of the Kabbalah, the shamanic myths of indigenous peoples, or the secret doctrines of the Rosicrucians and Freemasons, this series reveals how humans have long sought to explain existence, destiny, and the unseen forces of the cosmos.
