THE BUDDHIST PUBLICATION SOCIETY

 


The Buddhist Publication Society is an approved charity dedicated to making known the Teachings of the Buddha, which has a vital message for people of all creeds.

Founded in 1958, the BPS has published a wide variety of books and booklets covering a great range of topics. Its publications include accurate annotated translations of the Buddha’s discourses, standard reference works, as well as original contemporary expositions of Buddhist thought and practice. These works present Buddhism as it truly is—a dynamic force that has influenced receptive minds for the past 2500 years and is still as relevant today as it was when it first arose.

Author Details

Buddhism” is derived from the word “buddha”, which in turn is derived from the words “buddhi” and “bodhi”. These words literally mean intellect”, “intelligence”, “wisdom” or “supreme knowledge”. More specifically, they refer to the intelligence and the supreme knowledge that a Buddha possesses because of the understanding of the four noble truths. Metaphorically, however, they are usually translated as “enlightenment” or “awakening”, and the word “Buddha” as “enlightened” or “awakened”.
