Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical account of the island of Ceylon, exploring its origins, its early inhabitants, and the rise of Buddhism as a dominant religion. The author traces the island's history back to its mythical founding by the Indian king, Wijeya, and the subsequent spread of Buddhism through the influence of the missionary, Mahindo, and his sister, Sanghamittha. The book delves into the cultural and religious landscape of Ceylon, examining the various beliefs and practices that existed before the arrival of Buddhism, and the ways in which the new religion interacted with and eventually supplanted these earlier traditions. The author further explores the island's political and social development, highlighting the impact of the arrival of the Malabars, who established a significant presence in Ceylon and engaged in recurrent conflict with its native inhabitants. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the rich and complex history of this island nation, tracing its evolution from a land inhabited by ancient peoples to a place shaped by the rise of Buddhism and the arrival of new cultural forces.
