The Teaching of Buddha is a compilation of scriptural passages selected from the Buddhist canon, and provides an excellent introduction to Buddhism.  First published in English in 1934, The Teaching of Buddha has since been translated into 46 other languages, thus enabling Bukkyō Dendō Kyōkai (BDK) to distribute over nine million copies worldwide.  Long recognized as a definitive collection, this classic continues to appeal to readers seeking to understand Buddhism on the basis of its scriptures
