A Buddhist Bible
by Dwight Goddard

The theme of this Buddhist Bible is designed to show the unreality of all conceptions of a personal ego. Its purpose is to awaken faith in the Buddhahood as being one's true self-nature; to kindle aspiration to realize one's true Buddha-nature; to energize effort to follow the noble path; in fact to become Buddha. The true response to the appeal of the Buddhist Bible is not in outward activities, but in self-yielding-becoming a clear channel for Buddhahood's indrawing compassion, that all sentient beings may become emancipated, enlightened and brought to Buddhahood.
