Buddhism: The Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha

What the Buddha Thought

by Richard Gombrich

A study by a leading Pali scholar arguing that the Buddha's teachings, including dependent origination and karma, are best understood as responses to the brahmanical thought of his time. Provocative and closely argued, it reconstructs the early doctrine from the Pali texts.
