Description
Published in 1915 and translated and edited by K.J. Saunders, this anthology of Buddhist verse holds a special place in India’s rich cultural heritage. Buddhism, stemming from its roots in Hinduism, has played a pivotal role in shaping Hinduism itself, particularly through the exchange of ethical teachings. Gautama Buddha’s moral philosophy, which emphasizes righteousness without the need for a divine deity, has left an indelible mark on Indian society. While Gautama didn’t introduce the concept of a righteous god, his teachings centered on a force that fosters righteousness, along with his exemplary character, continue to exert a lasting and positive influence on India.
