The Heart of Buddhism By K.J. Saunders
The heart of a religion is best seen in its poetry where there is spontaneity and usually less dogma than in scholarly analysis and theory. In this belief, the editor of this small book has translated some typical and popular Buddhist poems and has called the collection The Heart of Buddhism.By the careful study of these verses the student will catch more of the spirit of Buddhism and enter far more deeply into the feelings of Buddhists than by wading through books of prose.
