Ven. Nyanatiloka was one of the pioneers of Buddhism in the modern world and the first European Buddhist monk. As the world’s senior Western bhikkhu, ordained in 1903, Nyanatiloka attracted many disciples, through whose work his influence continues to be felt today, more than fifty years after his death. Nyanatiloka was also a renowned scholar and translator of Pali scriptures. His classic The Word of the Buddha, written more than a century ago, is still widely read.
Written as a part of a series of a text book by Mrs. Winitha Jinasena, the book presents in outline the fundamental facets of Buddhist doctrine and precept to children who are to inherit the social responsibilities of adults. It appeals both to the ordinary students and the budding philosophers.
