Selected and translated by the renowned scholar Edward Conze, this anthology presents a rich cross-section of Buddhist literature — from the earliest Pali Canon to Mahayana sutras and Tantric passages — offering readers an authentic encounter with the Buddha's teachings on suffering, impermanence, compassion, and the path to enlightenment.\n\nConze's masterful scholarship brings both rigour and sensitivity to these translations, preserving the meditative cadence and philosophical depth of the original texts without sacrificing clarity. The collection chronicles the development of Buddhist thought across centuries and traditions, illustrating how a single teacher's insights gave rise to an extraordinary diversity of doctrine and practice. As a cornerstone of the Penguin Classics series, this volume remains an indispensable gateway for anyone seeking to understand the spiritual and intellectual legacy of Buddhism — leaving the reader to wonder whether wisdom, once encountered, can ever truly be unfound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49342773887195,"sku":"2026200016190-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9a48c0af-9964-4c9d-a289-532e68a3a6d0.png?v=1790049090","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016190-secondhand-buddhist-scriptures","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
