Dharma Wheel

By Har Dayal and first published in 1932. I never read it and wonder if it is too dated to be of value now or has he any unusual insights that are little emphasized today?

It is wonderful. Indeed a bit outdated, but a good scholarly work overall. Note that Har Dayal is/was a Hindu nationalist, so you might catch a whiff of that in his writing (when he talks about Buddhist doctrines), but it's does not distract from the overall soundness of the work.

Thank you - I will add it to my wish list.
