We have already started the scanning of Stherbatsky's Buddhist Logic, available here. Now we offer the first complete scan of a basic book of Stcherbatsky -
Stcherbatsky, Th. The Central Conception of Buddhism and the Meaning of the Word Dharma. Published by The Royal Asiatic Society, London, 1923.
| Quote: | | The formula of the Buddhist credo (ye dhamma, etc.) - which, professedly, contains the shortest statement of the essence and the spirit of Buddhism declares that Buddha discovered the elements (dharma) of existence, their causal connexion, and a method to suppress (nirodho) their efficiency forever. Vasubandhu makes a similar statement about the essence of the doctrine: it is a method of converting the elements of existence into a condition of rest, out of which they never will emerge again. From the first days of the Buddhist church the novices, before obtaining admittance into the order, went through a course of instruction in what may be termed the Buddhist catechism, i.e., an exposition of the elements (dharma) of existence and their different classifications into skandha, ayatana, and dhatu. |
