Many Buddhas, One Buddha

4.9/5 (16950 ratings)

Description:"Many Buddhas, One Buddha introduces a significant section of the important early Indian Buddhist text known as the Avadåanaâsataka, or "One Hundred Stories", and explores some of its perspectives on buddhahood. This text, composed in Sanskrit and dating to perhaps the third to fifth centuries of the Common Era, is affiliated with the Sarvåastivåada or Måulasarvåastivåada, and thus provides important evidence of the ideas and literatures of lost non-Mahåayåana schools of Indian Buddhism. The text is a rich literary composition, in mixed prose and verse, and includes some elaborate devotional passages that illuminate early Indian perspectives on the Buddha and on the role of avadÄ p1 sna texts. The book introduces the first four chapters of the Avadåanaâsataka through key themes of these stories, such as predictions and vows, preparations for buddhahood, the relationship between âSåakyamuni and other buddhas, and the relationship between full buddhahood and pratyekabuddhahood. The study of these stories closes with an argument about the structural design of the text, and what this tells us about attitudes towards different forms of awakening. The second part of the book then presents a full English translation of stories 1-40"--We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
