Buddhism: A Study of the Buddhist Norm - Gyan Books

About The Book: Buddhism: A Study of the Buddhist Norm by T.W. Rhys Davids is a foundational scholarly examination of early Buddhist teachings and ethical principles, focusing on the concept of Dhamma (the norm or law). Rhys Davids, a pioneering Pali scholar and founder of the Pali Text Society, explores core doctrines such as the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, karma, rebirth, and nirvana. He emphasizes Buddhism as a rational, moral, and philosophical system rather than a theistic religion. The book offers Western readers a structured and accessible introduction to early Theravāda Buddhism, grounded in textual analysis and historical context.
