The contents that follow in this small publication
comprise a collection of expanded notes prepared
for unconnected individual talks on Buddhism giv-
en in the West by the author over the period 1938
1983. They are not, therefore, subject matter nec-
essarily for consecutive reading.
To give the differing teaching material and informa-
tion surrounding the main themes, repetition of
phraseology in respect of the themes themselves is
an unavoidable feature; thus each short article is
here reproduced as originally conceived and with-
out regard to any repetition.

The Buddha
Friends,
The subject that I have chosen for this evening is
‘The Buddha’.
Who is a Buddha? A Buddha is one who has at-
tained bodhi. By bodhi is meant an ideal state of in-
tellectual and ethical perfection which can be at-
tained by man by purely human means. In order to
make clear how the Buddha attained bodhi, let me
narrate a brief summary of the Buddha’s life.
About 623 years before the Christian era, there was
born in Lumbini Park in the neighbourhood of Ka-
pilavatthu, now known as Padaria in the district of
modern Nepal, an Indian Sakyan prince, Siddattha
Gotama by name. To mark the spot as the birth-
place of the greatest teacher of mankind, and as a
token of his reverence for him, the Emperor Asoka
in 239 b.c. erected a pillar bearing the inscription,
‘Here was the Enlightened One born’.
Gotama’s father was Suddhodana, king of Kapila-
vatthu, the chief town of the Sakyan clan; and his
mother, who died seven days after his birth, was
9
Queen Maya who also belonged to the same clan.
Under the care of his maternal aunt, Pajapati Gota-
mi, Siddhattha spent his early years in ease, luxury
and culture. At the age of sixteen he was married to
his cousin, Yasodhara, the daughter of Suppabud-
dha, the king of Devadaha, and they had a son
named Rahula.
For nearly thirteen years Siddhattha led the life of a
luxurious Indian prince, seeing only the beautiful
and the pleasant. In his twenty-ninth year, howev-
er, the truth gradually dawned upon him, and he
realized that all without exception were subject to
birth, decay and death and that all worldly pleas-
ures were only a prelude to pain. Comprehending
thus the universality of sorrow, he had a strong de-
sire to find the origin of it, and a panacea for this
universal sickness of humanity. Accordingly he re-
nounced the world and donned the simple garb of
an ascetic.
Wandering as a seeker after peace he placed him-
self under the spiritual guidance of two renowned
brahman teachers, Alara and Uddaka. The former
was head of a large number of followers at Vesali,
and was an adherent of Kapila, the reputed founder
of the Sassata system of philosophy, who laid great
stress on the belief in atma, the ego. He regarded
the disbelief in the existence of a soul as not tend-
