Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: ENGLISH. About the Book:-The author has made a noble attempt to draw a fine sketch on Early Indian Culture. He has traced its history from the earliest times down to the Muslim conquest of India. This book is divided into nine sections dealing with Pre-historic, Vedic, Brahmanic, Pre-Maurya, Maurya and Sungya, Scythian, Gupta, Later Medieval, Andhra and Dravidian culture. It is a semi-popular treatment which gives a connected account of early Indian culture under different periods of its history. Almost all the original sources and the relevant data from modern literature have been utilized in order to make it interesting, informative and worth-reading. It is hoped that it will be of some use to those it is intended. About the Author:-Bimala Churn Law was born in 1892.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:-This book discusses the chronological literary and historical position of the chronicles of Ceylon in Pali and Sinhalese. An attempt has been made to present a careful and exhaustive study of the chronicles of Ceylon in a spirit of scientific research. In 1908 Geiger made a critical study of this subject for the first time in his work on The D?pava?sa and Mah?va?sa and their Historical development of Ceylon. In 1928 G.P. Malalasekera published a book on the Pali Literature of Ceylon (J.R.A.S. publication, Prize Publication Fund, Vol. X) and in 1933 the author, in his History of Pali Literature, dealt with the same topic. In the present book his treatment is different from that of the previous writers. In three chapters he has discussed the chronological, literary, and historical position of the chronicles in Pali and Sinhalese. He has tried to utilize all the available materials, which may be gathered from ancient and modern literature on the subject. This work is, he believes, new in its treatment, and will remove a long-felt want. He shall consider his labour amply rewarded, if it be of some use to scholars interested in the Ceylonese chronicles. About the Author:-B. C. Law was an Indian-born author.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:-The author has made a good attempt to write this short treatise. His main object has been to acquaint the public, as far as possible, with what the ancient Buddhists thought about spirits and spirit world. A study of the Preta belief among the Southern Buddhists is likely to be attractive. Materials have been drawn for the first time from the Hinayana Buddhist literature and specially from the Paramatthadipani (The Elucidation of the Highest Meaning) on the Petavatthu (Preta stories), that is the commentary on the Petavatthu which is one of the books of the Khuddaka Nikaya, written by Dhammapala of Kancipura (Conjevaram). He fully agrees with Rhys Davids that the foolish little poems contained in the Petavatthu are no good but the stories given in its commentary present before us a very interesting side of the Preta belief. There are six chapters in this book and they deal with: Pretas and Pitaras, the first expression of the sprit be belief, the formal expression of belief, physical description of the sprits, sprit stories and ends with a chapter on doctrinal bearings of the sprit stories. This book is a reprint of the 1936 edition. About the Author :-B. C. Law was an Indian-born author. He was born in 1892 and died in 1969.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:-The author had made a noble attempt to draw a fine sketch on Buddhist Historical Traditions. The Saddhamma Sangha which is a non-canonical Pali work of a later date has been edited in Roman characters for the first time by N Saddhananda of Ceylon and published in the Journal of the Pali Text Society in 1890. This works as its title suggests, is a compendium of the traditional history of Buddhism. The Saddhamma-Sangha presents a bare outline of ecclesiastical and literary history of Buddhism drawn upon tradition materials. It is a historical record of the past played by Buddhism in Ceylon. The historical value of this work is enhanced by the inclusion of the account of two Buddhism Councils held in Ceylon during the reigns of Devanampiyatissa and Vattagamini. This is an account of the progress of the transmitting first orally, and then by writing, the philosophy and tenets of the Buddhist tradition. This book deals each occurrence in separate chapters, it has account of all the Buddhist councils and of the times when the Tripitaka was committed to writing. In all nine chapters the essence of the book is discussed on the progress of Buddhist thought. About the Author:-B. C. Law was an Indian-born author. He was born in 1892 and died in 1969.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: ENGLISH. About the book:-The author reveals that the Mah?vastu or an encyclopaedia of Buddhist legends and doctrines is one of the important books of Mah?y?na Buddhist literature. Its literally means a great thing. The prose portions of the text are written in mixed Sanskrit while the poems are written more in Pr?krit than in mixed Sanskrit. No doubt the language is "an arbitrary and unstable mixture of Sanskrit, P?li and Pr?krits. In many places it is difficult to arrive at the correct interpretation. The arrangement of the topics discussed in the book is most disorderly and the text is full of repetitions. It contains an account of Buddha's life and teachings together with the stories of his previous births. Besides, several knotty points of Buddhism and Buddhist philosophy are treated in it. It claims to be a book of the Vinaya Pitaka according to the Lokottarav?dins, a branch of the Mah?sa?ghikas. It contains very little of the rules of the Vinaya. It undoubtedly requires care and patience to go through the entire text and give a substance of it a task which he has attempted in this book. Dr. A. Berriedale Keith has laid him under a debt of obligation by specially writing a valuable note containing many points of importance connected with a study of the Mah?vastu. For seven illustrations and for kind permission to reproduce them, he is grateful to the Director-General of Archaeology, India. About the Author:-B. C. Law (1892-1969) was a renowned indologist and a reputed author on Buddhist text. He wrote many books such as -- A History of Pali Literature; Saravasti in Indian Literature; Geography of Early Buddhism; A Study of the Mahavastu; The Life and Work of Buddhaghosa; and The Buddhist Conception of Spirits.
