The Buddhist Attitude to War and peace

 Some months ago in Singapore, I picked up a bundle of Buddhist tracts. Here is another tract. It is entitled

The Buddhist Attitude to War and peace 
By
Senarth Wijayasundara, M.A.

The book was published by the Buddhist Research Society of Singapore. Like the previous book in the series, the reverse of the title page tells us who sponsored the printing/donated the book. The Donor in this case was Miss Chan Yin Leng.
