The book "The Buddhist Bible" consists of three parts. First, it presents the biography of Buddha. The second part of the book comprises early Buddhist texts, which are ancient Pali sources on which the entire worldview of Buddhism developed. The third part of the book contains ancient Sanskrit sources: the Diamond Sutra and the Heart Sutra. An article about the life of Buddha and a selection of ancient texts was written by the English scholar Sidney Goddard in the early twentieth century. The fourth part of the book consists of the writings of Tibetan Buddhist masters, the Dalai Lama and Kalu Rinpoche.
Thus, the selection of texts has a chronological nature, allowing the reader to trace the development of Buddhist philosophy throughout the history of this remarkable high-intellectual religion, which is gaining such great importance in our technocratic age and is popular among intelligent people around the world.
