The Life of Buddha
About This Book
This is the annotated edition including* an extensive annotation of more than 10.000 words about the history and basics of Buddhism, written by Thomas William Rhys DavidsThis "Life of Buddha" is not a work of fiction. For the most part it has been relied upon the LALITA-VISTARA. This book is a jumbled collection of legends and scholastic dissertations, and yet in these pages are preserved many precious traditions regarding the Buddha's origin, his childhood and his youth, and here, likewise, we are told of his early education and of his first deeds. There are also traces from an excellent poem, the BUDDHACARITA of Asvaghosa.Contents: PART ONE1. King Suddhodana And Queen Maya2. Maya's Dream3. The Birth of Siddhartha4. Asita's Prediction5.
