The Jataka V3: Or Stories Of The Buddha's Former Births is a collection of ancient Buddhist tales that recount the Buddha's past lives. Translated by E. B. Cowell, this book is the third volume in a series of Jataka tales that were originally written in Pali, an ancient language of India. The stories in this book follow the Buddha's previous incarnations as animals, humans, and even gods, as he learns and teaches moral lessons through his experiences. These tales provide insight into Buddhist beliefs and practices, and offer valuable lessons on compassion, wisdom, and the pursuit of enlightenment. The Jataka V3 is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Buddhism, mythology, or ancient literature.In Six Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
