Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a unique and fascinating exploration of the Buddhist religion and its impact on the history and culture of Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka). The author delves into the origins of Buddhism, tracing its roots back to India and the teachings of the Buddha Guadma. The book's focus on Ceylon offers a rich tapestry of narratives, exploring the rise and fall of dynasties, the construction of magnificent temples and monuments, and the role of Buddhist priests in shaping the island's society. The author draws on a collection of historical manuscripts, including the Mahavansi, Rajaratnacari, and Rajavali, which are considered to be authoritative texts within the Buddhist tradition. These writings provide a glimpse into the daily rituals, ethical codes, and beliefs that formed the cornerstone of ancient Buddhist Ceylon. Through meticulous analysis of these texts, the author sheds light on the intricacies of Buddhist philosophy and its profound influence on the lives of the people, revealing a society where religious devotion and the legacy of its leaders played a central role in shaping national identity.
