Hardcover. Etat : New. This mini volume was first published in 1923. Buddhism is often associated with non-theism, as it does not place significant emphasis on a Supreme Being or the existence of Heaven and Hell. The concept of spirits, or preta (Pali: petta), and their role in the Buddhist religious tradition is a fascinating subject. Many materials from the Hinayana Buddhist tradition, such as Paramatthapadipani, the commentary on Petavatthu (part of the Khuddaka Nikaya), and the Jatakas, provide valuable insights into this area. This book makes a significant contribution to understanding the role of spirits, the spirit world (pretaloka), and the practice of ancestor offerings in Buddhism. The author explores the concept of preta in classical Buddhism and the belief systems surrounding it. Various forms and types of pretas, along with the stories and doctrinal implications of the spirit world, are thoroughly examined in this work. About the Author Bimala Churn Law (1892-1969) was an Indologist and a research fellow at the Royal Asiatic Society. He authored books on Buddhism, Jainism, and the geographical history of India. In 1935, he established the Dr. B.C. Law Trust Fund at the Royal Asiatic Society.…

Paperback. Etat : New. Language: English. About the Book:-The author has made a good attempt to write this short treatise. His main object has been to acquaint the public, as far as possible, with what the ancient Buddhists thought about spirits and spirit world. A study of the Preta belief among the Southern Buddhists is likely to be attractive. Materials have been drawn for the first time from the Hinayana Buddhist literature and specially from the Paramatthadipani (The Elucidation of the Highest Meaning) on the Petavatthu (Preta stories), that is the commentary on the Petavatthu which is one of the books of the Khuddaka Nikaya, written by Dhammapala of Kancipura (Conjevaram). He fully agrees with Rhys Davids that the foolish little poems contained in the Petavatthu are no good but the stories given in its commentary present before us a very interesting side of the Preta belief. There are six chapters in this book and they deal with: Pretas and Pitaras, the first expression of the sprit be belief, the formal expression of belief, physical description of the sprits, sprit stories and ends with a chapter on doctrinal bearings of the sprit stories. This book is a reprint of the 1936 edition. About the Author :-B. C. Law was an Indian-born author. He was born in 1892 and died in 1969. Dr Law was an Indologist and a benefactor of the Royal Asiatic Society. He published many books in the fields of Buddhism, Jainism, and the history and geography of India. In 1935 he established the Dr B. C. Law Trust Fund at the RAS for the publication of works on Indology. He wrote A History of Pali Literature; Saravasti in Indian Literature; Geography of Early Buddhism; A Study of the Mahavastu; The Life and Work of Buddhaghosa; and The Buddhist Conception of Spirits.
