Descrizione

About the book:-The author’s rendering of the Chinese translation is a most valuable aid to the critical study of the work. It contains authentic texts gathered from ancient canonical books, and generally connected with some incident in the history of Buddha. Their great interest, however, consists in the light which they throw upon everyday life in India at the remote period at which they were written, and upon the method of teaching adopted by the founder of the religion. The method employed was principally parable, and the simplicity of the tale, and the excellence of the morale inculcated, as well as the strange hold which they have retained upon the minds of millions of people, make them a very remarkable study. It’s valuable as exhibiting the doctrine of the Buddhists in its purest; least adulterated form, it brings the modern reader face to face with that simple creed and rule of conduct which won its way over the minds of myriads, and which is now nominally professed by millions.
