HTML and Unicode versions by Al Haines. "The Buddhist Catechism" by Henry Steel Olcott is a religious and philosophical text written in the late 19th century. The book serves as an introductory guide to Buddhism, presenting its foundational beliefs, practices, and history, primarily aimed at beginners and students in Buddhist schools. The work encompasses explanations of the life of the Buddha, the Dharma (Buddhist teachings), and the Sangha (the community of monks), forming a comprehensive overview of the religion. At the start of the work, the author sets the tone with an introduction that acknowledges the guidance and contributions of notable figures within the Buddhist community. The opening section comprises a structured catechism format, consisting of questions and answers that outline the life of the Buddha, discuss key concepts of Buddhism, and clarify terminology. This systematic approach intends to provide clear and accessible insights into what Buddhism is, its ethical foundations, and its philosophical doctrines, making it suitable for educating both laypersons and those new to the faith.
