Six Lectures on Ancient Buddhism As A Means To Salvation
Buddhism preaches no dogma; it teaches practice. It is not so much concerned with its goal-the mysterious and unascertainable Nirvana as with the path i.e. sanctity. The book deals with the means of salvation as taught by Lord Buddha and will be received with benefit by the reader who aspires for "Nirvana" or who is generally interested in the study of Buddhist thought.

Six Chapters: Chapter 1 discusses Indian disciplines of salvation with particular reference to Buddhism as a disci[pline of salvation in contrast with Buddhism as a religion.
