The Epistle of Salim Ibn Dhakwan
The epistle ascribed to Salim Ibn Dhakwan is a tract against 'wrong' doctrines regarding the classification and treatment of opponents. Written by an Ibadi before AD 800 and taking issue with both Kharijite extremists and Murji'ites, it was brought to the attention of Western Islamicists in the early 1970s by Amr Khalifa Ennami, and is here edited, translated, and discussed in full for the first time. The early centuries of Islamic religious thought have become a dynamic field in the last few years, and there is renewed interest in the attempt to use the early literature of the Muslim sects as windows onto the wider scene of doctrinal discussion in the period before the mainstream tradition becomes plentiful. In addition to making available a new source, this study seeks to open up the Ibadi tradition for future research on early Islamic thought, partly by making heavy use of Ibadi sources in its interpretation of Salim's epistle and by partly by offering systematic information about the Ibadi figures and literary works involved in the appendices and bibliography.
A Buddhist Catechism
2013 Reprint of 1920 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "This little book is addressed to those for whom material progress and augmented means of luxury do not constitute the goal of life...' --from the Preface. In simple question-and-answer format, this lovely little book explores the basics of Buddhist teachings. Specifically designed for Westerners, this 1920 publication anticipates questions and the need for clarification from other cultural perspectives. Among the questions answered are: What is the Buddhist religion? Who is the Buddha? What is the cause of sorrow, and of death and birth-renewal? What is the knowledge which leads us to salvation? What is Nirvana? What is an evil deed? Are there such occurrences as miracles? and more. This excellent introduction for lay readers sings with clarity and poetry even today. "Subhadra Bhikshu" was the pseudonym of German author and Buddhist scholar Friedrich Zimmermann (1852-1917).
