Buddho andS t. Francis. There is much yet to be explained about the law of coincidence in Religion, Jurisprudence, Biology and other lines. Is it impossible that, after all, life may be subtly directed by a tendency of approximation to certain ideals or arch-types, among which humanity standardizes the animal world and Jesus the spiritual? Coming back toR evato, let me say that the Pa ray ana monastery is not historical, but that in great measure the description of Pataliputta city, and still more that of Rajagaha, has been worked out by laborious research. Most of the monasteries mentioned in the story are real. In many cases I have followed native tradition uncritically, as in attributing the authorship of certain sayings to Buddho and his diciples, the walls of Rajagaha toG ovindo. My knowledge of Indian natural history has largely come from ancient sources; I have often used Pali names for trees, etc., and such description as those of the forest voices inC hapter XIII are idealized. Gotamo sG ate, on the north of Pataliputta city, is assumed to be shifted from its traditional site in the west side of the old village. Too late I find that I probably erred in dating the river flood stage after the close of the rainy season, rather than within that period. Nearly all the Greek poetry used I have put into its present metrical form, availing of such prose translations as are found in Lang sH omeric Hymns and Wharton sS appho. They are adapted at pleasure; thus, I have not hesitated to make patchwork of Sappho fragments, nor to incorporate in an A nacreonic ode a fitting line from Theocritus. Certain quotations are verbatim in Way sspirited verse, namely, his Euripidean choruses, Flowing with milk is the ground, from theB acchanals, andO h, the works of the Gods, from A ndromache. The Buddhist poetry I have spent much time in working out from the books of the

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and thought of Revato, a lay disciple of the Buddha who lived in the 3rd century BCE. Revato was a complex and deeply moral individual torn between his ethical convictions and the realities of the world around him, seeking a middle ground that avoided extremes of self-indulgence and self-denial. The author draws on Pali literature and other sources to paint a vivid picture of ancient Indian life and thought, offering a compelling portrayal of the challenges and rewards of pursuing a virtuous path in a society undergoing profound change. The book sheds light on the evolution of Buddhism from its origins to its spread across Asia, and on the enduring relevance of its teachings to human existence and the search for meaning in the face of life's complexities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
