However, this is the aim of Walpola Rahula in his book What the Buddha Taught.
Finally, Rahula concludes the book with discussions about modern Buddhism and the way in which Buddhism has shaped the realm of religion particularly inthe Asian countries.
In order to reach Nirvana one must meditate to be enlightened by these Buddhist ideas, as meditation serves as a path to reach Nirvana.

 What The Buddha Taught
Rahula returns to the earliest recorded teachings of the Buddha to provide us with a solid foundation into a fascinating religion.
A re-read of Dr. Rahula’s book will probably help, but the search is on for a book that explains how Buddhism answers these kinds of questions.
To begin with, it might be difficult to even classify Buddhism as a religion.

 WHAT THE BUDDHA TAUGHT: Remembering Dr. Walpola Rahula
Walpola Rahula, world renowned scholar and pioneer in the expansion of Buddhism beyond its traditional homelands in Southern and Eastern Asia.
Rahula influenced generations of monks, including me. Reading his `Heritage of the Bhikkhu' gave my whole generation of monks, a new understanding of our role in society, and gave us courage to practise a Buddhism which was both traditional and in touch with our modern society.
Rahula arranged for me to do graduate work at Northwestern University in Comparative Religion, so that I would understand the mindset of this country, to make my own Buddhist work here most relevant and useful for this society.

 Pathless.com - Books by and about Krishnamurti
This is an issue at the heart of both Krishnamurti's and the Buddha's teaching, and in 1978 and 1979 the eminent Buddhist scholar Walpola Rahula came to Brockwood Park in England to put questions that had occurred to him from his reading of Krishnamurti's books.
The future Chancellor of the Sri Lankan University of Buddhist and Pali Studies, Walpola Rahula was an acknowledged authority on both the Theravada and the Mahaynana schools of Buddhism.
Rahula continues, however, in most of these conversations to draw parallels between what the Buddha has said and what Krishnamurti is saying, so that a reader interested in that inquiry will find much interest.

 Buddhism and the Environment: The Compassion Connection
Walpola Rahula, a prominent monk in the Theravadan school of Buddhism, once observed that maturity in the Buddhist way of life requires an equal development of both wisdom and compassion.
(Walpola Rahula, What the Buddha Taught, 2nd ed.
That's why in Buddhism, he argued, "wisdom and compassion are inseparably linked together." A clear, healthy mind should manifest both of these qualities in abundance.

Rahula which are not found in Buddhism's teachings.
Rahula in his book goes into a three page diatribe without citation that "there is no Soul in Buddhism"; to apparently back up his claim he cites the many instances of the term Anatta (no-Soul), however Rahula, like the reviewer below are entirely unfamiliar with the neti-neti (not this not that methodology) of Indian Philosophy.
Rahula's personal views as expressed by and thru his school (Hinayana/Abhidhammism) and superimpose that belief system in his book upon Buddhism's doctrine.

At this location I post an important Buddhist Ecumenical statement which was formulated by the Venerable Walpola Rahula, a Buddhist highly esteemed by all schools of Buddhism in our time.
Rahula provides the Buddhist world community with a blueprint of tolerance and a positive way of viewing one another.
These external forms and expressions should not be confused with the essential teachings of the Buddha.

 Journal of Buddhist Ethics
Walpola Rahula in his celebrated work titled History of Buddhism in Ceylon further observes: The influence of the Sangha over the masses was so great that rulers were careful to win the hearts of the bhikkhus for the sake of peaceful and successful governments.
Walpola Rahula has devoted an entire chapter in his book to elucidate the pivotal role that the Sangha played in ancient Sri Lanka (chapter V, pp.
Prof Walpola Rahula, inter alia, observes that the constitutional position of Buddhism was so strong that to act against the Sasana was regarded as high treason.

To help us understand Buddhism as a way of life, we will give consideration to the Buddhist vision and practice as expressed by several contemporary masters, Walpola Rahula (Theravada), Taitetsu Unno (Pure Land), and Shundo Aoyama and Suzuki Shunryu (Zen).
As a contemporary issue in Buddhism, we will consider the experience of women within Buddhist life.
Buddhism in America and the dialogue between Buddhists and Christians will also enter into our investigation.

 The Killing of Buddha - InfoLanka Forum
What has happened is that economic Buddhism, cultural Buddhism and social Buddhism as originally conceived by Dharmapala and Walpola to modernise Sri Lanka has become a political Buddhism with horrific consequences for managing a multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-linguistic society.
Next only to Dharmapala is Walpola Rahula whose Bhiksuvage Urumaya (The Heritage of the Bhikku) is considered as having the greatest influence on recent Sri Lankan Buddhism.
It is no wonder that an Indian monk who was influenced most by them and who had studied for a while in Sri Lanka, Rahula Sankrityayan, was among the most relentless crusaders for peasant rights in Bihar in the 1930s.

This is a superb simile of meditation practice.
Let us now see what Venerable Dr.Walpola Rahula has to say about 'Zen and the Ten Ox-herding Pictures'.
Introductory books on Zen usually contain ten or six drawings called 'Ox-herding Pictures', depicting a story of taming an unruly, wild bull.

 The Work of Kings: The New Buddhism In Sri Lanka.
When Rahula wants to portray Buddhism as the most rationalistic of religions — when he speaks to Westerners and Sri Lankans interested in meditation — he invokes "ancient Buddhism." "Ancient Buddhism" is Buddhism as a "technology of wandering mendicants" without cult or context.
Rahula — and Vidyalankara monks such as Yakkaduve Pragnarama — had a broader vision than Dharmapala of where monks could usefully deploy themselves for the good of the sasana, in salaried jobs, teaching, and organizing interest groups.
Notions such as "ancient Buddhism" appear and reappear in Seneviratne's argument both as party to a Weberian approach to Buddhism (which Seneviratne mistrusts) and as a trope invoked by monks such as Rahula and Henpitagedera Gnanavasa when it serves their needs.
http://www.globalbuddhism.org/2/kempe011.html

  
 Buddism
As Rahula notes, there are varieties of Buddhism where the apparent centrality of faith in the usual sense can be hard to distinguish from that of a non-Buddhist religions such as, for example, Roman Catholicism.
A particularly seminal book for me was Walpola Rahula's "What the Buddha Taught" (ISBN 0-394-17827-0).
Nevertheless, at its root, Buddhism says "listen to the dhamma, practice it diligently, and you will see for yourself the truth that is in it." Once one has "seen the elephant", there is no need to accept on faith that elephants exist.

Quoting from his famous teacher, the late Venerable Dr. Walpole Rahula, the author of ‘What the Buddha Taught’, the chief incumbent of the Dharma Vijaya Temple in Los Angeles, Venerable Walpola Piyananda said the ten duties of King (raja) as it was known then should be replaced today by the term “Government”.
He said the Buddhist principles were relevant to great men like Emperor Dharmasoka of India, who in turn influenced the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi who became an influencing factor on the modern day Martin Luther King.

 Chapter 17
The same writer, Dr. Rahula, continues with his own comments about Nirvana, "People often ask: ‘What is there after Nirvana?’ This question cannot arise, because Nirvana is the Ultimate Truth.
Various Buddhist writers have attempted to do this, but they confess that this is impossible because our written and spoken language is incapable of expressing what Nirvana really is.
The writer, Venerable Dr. Walpola Sri Rahula quotes from the words of the Buddha, "Deliverance founded on Truth is unshakable.

 The Doctrine of Svabhava or Svabhavata and the Questions of Anatman and Shunyata by David Reigle
Since this doctrine is so central to Buddhist teachings, any Theosophist who wishes to trace a svabhava or svabhavata doctrine in the Buddhist texts must first reconcile the anatman doctrine one way or the other with the Theosophical teachings.
It will already be obvious that for our research we must first find out if there is anything taught in Buddhism that is not a dharma, something beyond the "elements of existence." The Buddhist authority Walpola Rahula, explaining dhamma, the Pali equivalent of the Sanskrit dharma, tells us that there is not:

The theory of karma should not be confused with so-called "moral justice" or "reward and punishment." The idea of moral justice, or reward and punishment, arises out of the conception of a supreme being, a God, who sits in judgment, who is a law-giver and who decides what is right and wrong.

This study is an inquiry to go into the same question.
K had asked Walpola Rahula ''May I ask, Sir, with due respect, why you compare?'' and Walpola Rahula had replied ''There is no necessity (to compare)''.
