The Jataka-Mala: Or Bodhisattvavadana-Mala (1891)

The Jataka-Mala: Or Bodhisattvavadana-Mala is a book written by Arya-Cura and was first published in 1891. The book is a collection of stories about the previous lives of the Buddha, known as Jatakas. These stories are told in a narrative form and are meant to teach moral lessons and inspire readers to follow the path of the Buddha.The Jataka-Mala is divided into two parts. The first part contains 34 Jatakas, while the second part contains 15 Bodhisattvavadanas. Bodhisattvavadanas are stories about the lives of Bodhisattvas, who are beings who have attained enlightenment but have chosen to remain in the world to help others attain enlightenment.Each story in the Jataka-Mala is preceded by an introduction that provides some background information about the story and its significance. The stories themselves are written in a simple and accessible language, making them easy to understand and follow.The Jataka-Mala is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Buddhism, as it provides insight into the teachings of the Buddha and the moral values that underpin the religion. It is also a fascinating read for anyone interested in mythology and folklore, as the stories are filled with colorful characters and fantastical events.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
