An invaluable guide and reference book to Buddhist sacred texts, The Eternal Legacy gives students of Buddhism an unparalleled overview of texts from canonical Pali works to Mahayana sutras, together with their doctrinal and historical context and significance.
It brilliantly and concisely summarises the essence of core Buddhist teachings such as the Jataka Tales, Samyutta Nikaya, Anguttara Nikaya, Diamond Sutra, Lotus Sutra, Vimalakirti-nirdesa, Lankavatara Sutra, Sutra of Golden Light, Flower Ornament Sutra, Perfection of Wisdom scriptures and more. The author also addresses the question of what actually constitutes Buddhism’s authentic canonical literature. This new edition includes a fresh preface by the author, revised notes and bibliography, and a new index.
