The Creed of Buddha: A Philosophical Interpretation of Buddhist Thought - Hardcover

A reflective study of Buddhist thought presented through a philosophical and interpretive lens. In The Creed of Buddha, Edmond Holmes examines the central ideas associated with the life and teachings of the Buddha, with particular attention to ethical development, self-discipline, and the cultivation of insight.

Holmes approaches the subject not as a strictly doctrinal system but as a framework for understanding human experience, emphasising inward transformation and the refinement of perception. The work develops through exposition and reflection, drawing connections between Buddhist principles and broader philosophical concerns, including suffering, detachment, and the nature of self.

Positioned within early twentieth-century comparative religious writing, the text reflects an effort to interpret Eastern traditions for a Western readership while maintaining a focus on underlying principles rather than ritual or institution. It remains of interest to readers of philosophy, religion, and spiritual literature.
