What is Buddhist Scriptures; Ed. By Donald S. Lopez about?
<p>While Buddhism has no central text comparable to the Bible or Koran, there is a powerful body of scripture from across Asia that encompasses the <i>dharma</i>, or the teachings of the Buddha. In this rich anthology, eminent scholar Donald S. Lopez, Jr., brings together works from a broad historical and geographical range, and from such languages as Pali, Sanskrit, Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese. There are tales of the Buddha's past lives, a discussion of qualities and qualifications for a monk, and an exploration of the many meanings of enlightenment. Together they provide a vivid picture of the Buddha and of the vast and profound nature of the Buddhist tradition.</p> <p>Selections from the Dharampada, The Buddhacarita, the Questions of King Milinda, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead.</p>
