Karma A Story of Buddhist Ethics by Paul Carus is a didactic tale illustrating the principles of karma and moral responsibility within Buddhist thought. Through engaging narratives, the book emphasizes ethical conduct, cause-and-effect, and spiritual development. Carus presents Buddhist teachings in a way that resonates with Western audiences, reinforcing the idea that one's actions shape their destiny. Similarly, Der Buddha explores the life and teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, offering insights into Buddhist philosophy. Both works reflect Carus' commitment to interfaith understanding, making Buddhist wisdom accessible and relatable while promoting ethical living and spiritual enlightenment.
Paul Carus (1852-1919) was a German-American philosopher, editor, and pioneer of interfaith dialogue. Educated in Germany, he moved to the U.S. in 1884 due to his liberal views. As the first managing editor of Open Court Publishing, he promoted discussions on science, philosophy, and religion. He played a key role in introducing Buddhism to the West, working with D.T. Suzuki and Soyen Shaku. Carus advocated the ""Religion of Science"" and developed ""panbiotism,"" the belief that all things contain life. His prolific writings and correspondence with great thinkers shaped intellectual discourse in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
