Buddhism
A History of Pali Literature
Riven by Lust
Riven by Lust explore the tale of a man accused of causing the fundamental schism in early Indian Buddhism, but not before he was sex with his mother and kills his father. In tracing this Indian Buddhist Oedipal tale, Jonathan Silk follows it through texts in all of the major canonical languages of Buddhism, Sanskrit, Pali, Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese, along the way noting parallels and contrasts with classical and medieval European stories such as the legend of the Oedipal Judas.
The Religion of India
Max Weber's early twentieth-century study of the religions and civilization of India is a great pioneering adventure in the sociology of ancient India. Weber's insight and analysis-especially his application of the sociological perspective to the work of classical Indologists and the religious texts available to him-were to add much to the store of the social scientist. Later, historians and archaeologist were to confirm a surprising number of Weber's theories.

थेरगाथा एवं थेरीगाथा -दोनों ही ग्रंथ, खुद्दकनिकाय में परिगणित १५ ग्रंथों में अतिशय महत्वपूर्ण है।आचार्य बुद्धघोष ने इन दोनों ग्रथों का खुद्दकनिकाय ग्रन्थसमूह में अष्ठम एवं नवम स्थान निर्धारित किया है। इन दोनों ग्रंथों में क्रमशः बुद्धकाल के भिक्षुओं तथा भिक्षुणियों के पद्य बद्ध जीवन-संस्मरण है। काव्यसाहित्य एवं दर्शन के दृष्टि से इन दोनों ग्रंथों का स्थान धम्मपद एवं सुत्तनिपात के बाद ही है।

पालि के सर्वोत्तम काव्य-उद्धार खुद्दकनिकाय के ग्रंथों में सन्निहित है। और उनका प्रणयन मानवीय तत्वों के आधार पर चार निकायों के बाद हुआ है। उनमें से अनेक अत्यन्त प्रचीनयुग के भी है।
खुद्दकनिकाय का अधिकांश स्वरूप काव्यात्मक होते हुए भी उसकी मूल भावना सर्वांश में बौद्ध है। अपितु उसकी गाथाओं में अनेक तो पिटक -संकलन के प्राचीनतम युग के सूचक भी हैं।
A Dictionary of Chinese Buddhist Terms
After the Dictionary went to press, Professor Soothill died. The work on the Dictionary, however, was completed. For ten years we worked together, he at Oxford and I at Hartfold, and the manuscript crossed the Atlantic four times. During his semester in New York as Visiting Professor in Columbia University and on my brief visit to Oxford, we had opportunity to consult together on some outstanding problems. The work of organizing the material and harmonizing the differences was done by Professor Soothill. He was well eequipped to undertake the task of producing a Buddhist Dictionary, having a thorough knowledge of the Chinese language.

Print and Power
Print and Power begins with an overview of Vietnam's lively public spheres, bringing debates from Europe and the rest of Asia to Vietnamese society as well as Vietnamese society as well as Vietnamese and East Asian understandings of public discourse and public space. Popular taste, rather than revolutionary or national ideology, determined to a large extent what was published, with limited intervention by the French authorities.
The Lotus and The Lion
Buddhism is indisputably gaining prominence in the West, as is evidenced by the growth of Buddhist practice within many traditions and keen interest in meditation and mindfulness. In The Lotus and the Lion, the author traces the historical and cultural origins of Western Buddhism, showing that the British Empire was a primary engine for curiosity about and then engagement with the Buddhisms that the British encountered in India and elsewhere in Asia.
