Buddhism and the Western World (1921)

Selected Writings of Allan Bennett, Bhikkhu Ananda Metteyya - (Volume 2 of Allan Bennett, Bhikkhu Ananda Metteyya: Biography and Collected Writings) - Elizabeth J. Harris

Allan Bennett [+-]
Allan Bennett (1872-1923) was one of the first British men to gain higher ordination as a Buddhist monk and one of the seminal figures in the development of Buddhism in the UK.

Description

This is one of Allan Bennett’s last writings. Aware that many in the west resisted Buddhism, he attempts here to combine two aspects of Buddhism in order to draw in westerners, namely its compatibility with science and its concern for inner experience, the attaining of states of consciousness beyond those of ordinary, waking life.
