About The Book: Buddhism: A Study of the Buddhist Norm by T.W. Rhys Davids is a foundational scholarly examination of early Buddhist teachings and ethical principles, focusing on the concept of Dhamma (the norm or law). Rhys Davids, a pioneering Pali scholar and founder of the Pali Text Society, explores core doctrines such as the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, karma, rebirth, and nirvana. He emphasizes Buddhism as a rational, moral, and philosophical system rather than a theistic religion. The book offers Western readers a structured and accessible introduction to early Theravāda Buddhism, grounded in textual analysis and historical context. About The Author: Caroline Augusta Foley Rhys Davids (1857–1942) was a pioneering British scholar who transitioned from economics to become a leading translator and interpreter of Pāli Buddhist texts. She played a crucial role in making early Buddhist thought accessible to the West through works like Buddhist Psychology and Gotama the Man. Her scholarship explored Buddhist ethics, psychology, and origins, blending philological rigor with philosophical inquiry. She also examined will, identity, and the afterlife in Buddhist doctrine. Her later compilations, Wayfarer’s Words, reflect a lifetime of deep engagement with Buddhist ideas and their relevance to modern philosophical and spiritual questions.
