OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Buddhology is the study of the Buddha or Buddhahood. The term is also used as a synonym for Buddhist Studies, contemporary academic investigation of Buddhism. There are varied and nuanced understandings of the precise nature of a Buddha expressed in the different Buddhist traditions and movements. Theravada Buddhists base their view of the Buddha on the Pali Canon, which appear to be the oldest surviving Buddhist scriptures. From the accounts contained in the Pali Canon emerges the view that Buddha was a human being - a perfected human being. Buddha was also possessed of all the various supernatural powers, and mastered these to the greatest extent possible. The body and mind of a Buddha (while alive) are impermanent and changing, just like the body and mind of ordinary people. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Frederic P. Miller , Agnes F.
