Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit Grammar and Dictionary |
$114.95 $86.21 |

| This is the first attempt at a description of the grammar and lexicon of
Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit. Most North Indian Buddhist texts are composed in it.
It is based primarily on an old Middle Indic vernacular not otherwise
identifiable. But there seems reason to believe that it contains features which
were borrowed from other Middle Indic dialects. In other words, even its Middle
Indic aspects are dialectically somewhat mixed. Most strikingly, however, BHS
was also extensively... |

Buddhist Meditation and Nirvana |

Christianity teaches salvation by faith; while Buddhism places its greatest reliance in meditation. And it is not strange that the methods of the two religions should be so different, when we consider the very... |
