| Summary | "Buddhism, in Its Connexion with Brahmanism and Hinduism, and in Its Contrast with Christianity" by Sir Monier Monier-Williams is a scholarly treatise written in the late 19th century. This work is based on a series of lectures delivered as part of the Duff Lectures and aims to explore the complexities of Buddhism in relation to Hinduism and Brahmanism, as well as its contrasts with Christianity. The author, through extensive research and personal experience, seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of Buddhism, its teachings, and its historical development while presenting it from a somewhat Christian perspective. The opening of the book presents the author's reflections on the responsibility of writing the lectures and acknowledges the significant influence of Dr. Duff, a renowned educational missionary in India. Monier-Williams expresses his intention to delve deeply into the subject of Buddhism beyond a cursory overview, revealing his recognition of the intricate connection between Buddhism and other Indian religions, especially Brahmanism and Hinduism. He outlines his desire to clarify the often-confused landscape of Buddhist thought, provide a holistic view of its essence, and contribute meaningfully to the existing body of literature on the subject, ensuring an accurate depiction of both its merits and drawbacks.
