PREFACE
The present work is a compendium of articles on Buddhism by scholars and intellectuals. It presents a comprehensive view of all aspects of Buddhism. The personality of Buddha embodying deep compassionate nature has enchanted me all the time. My interest in Buddhism was further aroused in 1997 when National Museum, New Delhi sent the holy relics of Lord Buddha to Thailand for exposition and I was fortunate to be deputed to escort the relics from Thailand to India. I was thrilled when I held the casket containing relics in my both hands and this was beyond my imagination. During my month long stay at Puttomonthan temple at Bangkok, I came into contact with a large number of intellectuals and Bhiksus and our talk centered round the various aspects of Buddhism such as cultivation of moral values, on self restraint and contentment, on truthfulness and benevolence and Masters great message of love and sympathy for all beings. This actuated me to take up this work. I have incorporated the essence of discussions that I had with them. My grateful thanks to my father Dr. N.I.. Mathur whose constant guidance made it possible for me to give the work its present form. My special thanks are also due to Dr. Daljeet Keeper (Painting), National Museum for encouraging me to complete the work. My thanks are also due to C.P. Gautam of Bharatiya Kala Prakashan for having completed the work so nicely and in such a short time.
