First Published in 1995. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

First published in 1971, this is an empirical study of religion - particularly religious change. In it, Gombrich explores all aspects of religious change in belief and practice in Ceylon, not only in modern times but over the two and a half millennia during which Buddhism has flourished.

Argues that the Buddha was one of the most brilliant and original thinkers of all time. This work also argues that we can know far more about the Buddha than it is fashionable among scholars to admit, and that his thought has a greater coherence than is usually recognised.
