Description
Buddhist Scriptures is a comprehensive anthology of sacred texts from across Asia, bringing together works from a broad historical and geographical range. Eminent scholar Donald S. Lopez, Jr. has carefully curated a selection of texts that provide a vivid picture of the Buddha and the Buddhist tradition. The collection includes tales of the Buddha's past lives, discussions of qualities and qualifications for a monk, and explorations of the many meanings of enlightenment. These texts, translated from languages such as Pali, Sanskrit, Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese, offer a profound insight into the nature of the dharma and the teachings of the Buddha. Published by Penguin Classics, a leading publisher of classic literature, this anthology represents a significant contribution to the understanding of Buddhism and its rich cultural heritage.
