Buddhist Scriptures

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.
