Buddhist Scriptures Paperback / softback
by Donald Lopez
Paperback / softback
Description
While Buddhism has no central text such as the Bible or the Koran, there is a powerful body of scripture from across Asia that encompasses the dharma, or the teachings of Buddha.
This rich anthology brings together works from a broad historical and geographical range, and from languages such as Pali, Sanskrit, Tibetan, Chinese and Japanese.
There are tales of the Buddha's past lives, a discussion of the qualities and qualifications of a monk, and an exploration of the many meanings of Enlightenment.
Together they provide a vivid picture of the Buddha and of the vast nature of the Buddhist tradition.
