This rich anthology brings together works from a broad historical and geographical range, and from languages such as Pali, Sanskrit, Tibetan, Chinese and Japanese. There are tales of the Buddha's past lives, a discussion of the qualities and qualifications of a monk, and an exploration of the many meanings of Enlightenment. Together they provide a vivid picture of the Buddha and of the vast nature of the Buddhist tradition.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48128397115550,"sku":"UBD-9780140447583","price":27.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780140447583.jpg?v=1786540303","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780140447583","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
