DESCRIPTION
Buddhism was one of the most tremendous religious movements that the world ever witnessed. It was the most gigantic spiritual wave ever to burst upon human society. There is hardly any civilisation on which its effect has not been felt in some way or other. One of the important factor for its wide appeal was its catholicity.
Undoubtedly, these scholarly works of ever-lasting value would be consulted in several academic and other circles in our sub-continent and abroad.
