The Way To Nirvana

The Way To Nirvana

by L. de la Vallée Poussin


The Way To Nirvana consists of six lectures on Ancient Buddhism as a Discipline of Salvation, given as part of the Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College, Oxford, in 1916. Contents include Origins of the Indian Disciplines of Salvation, The Buddhist Soul, the Buddhist definition of Karman, the Doctrine of Karman and Transmigration and the path to Nirvana logic, philosophy and ethics. Poussin concludes by reviewing Buddhist techniques for approaching Nirvana.
