Excerpt from Buddhism: A Study of the Buddhist Norm
But the great majority of Buddhist works, other than those that the Southern centres have preserved as Canonical, and have them selves added, are to be found in China, trans lated into Chinese. It is from re-translations of these into English, French or German and this is the great task before the newer generation of Buddhist scholars - that we may expect to enrich our knowledge of classic Buddhist literature. From the Tibetan libraries too, when these become more access ible, we may yet win materials. But we may not hope to discover there, or in China, a Buddhist literary tradition handed down in unbroken continuity from the third century B.o., like that of the Pali Canon in Ceylon.

Through examining the historical evolution of Buddhist philosophy, the book provides a unique perspective on the Theravada school of Buddhism, which has preserved an unbroken lineage of scholarship for over two thousand years.
