This was originally published in Penang in 1935, as a collection of Bhikkhu Kashyap‘s lectures delivered at the Chinese Buddhist Association, as a booklet under the title of Buddha Dhmma. It was translated into French by Miss G. Constant Lounsbery of les Amis du Bouddhisme, Paris, to be used as a text book for their Buddhist classes. It was also translated into German and Vietnamese. A revised shortened edition of it was published under its present title, Buddhism for Everybody, in 1949. It was revised, enlarged and reprinted in 1956 with a preface by the then Sramanera Sangharakshit , a British disciple of Bhikku Kashyap. But this shortened version continued to be reprinted freely, with or without the preface of Ven. Sangharakshit, more than once. Now 1956 edition of it is being printed again. Hopefully this will be welcome.
